You may be walking the trails anyway so why not learn a little bit while you're there? Or perhaps this will be a new trail for you. Signs with trivia questions ranging from history, natural history and site-specific information will be placed along a designated trail.
Answers available on-site after the final trivia sign or found at www.LCFPD.org/resources
Test your knowledge of Heron Creek Forest Preserve as you read the Trivia Trail signs on the 1.1 mile loop trail. It starts on the trailhead past the kiosk, off the playground parking lot and follows the trail clockwise. Trail is gravel with some boardwalk bridges and has gentle rolling topography.
Consider bringing something to write your answers on. Unlike other trivia events, using your smartphone is encouraged. Most answers can be found on the Forest Preserve website and interactive trail map, History blog, or signs on-site.
Post a picture of yourself on the Trivia Trail to Lake County Forest Preserves social media @LCFPD (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) and use the hashtag, #LCFPDTriviaTrail
Be sure to read the introduction sign at the start to know how many trivia questions there are and where to find the answer sheet.
