Small riverside pavilion and reconstructed trading post on the Des Plaines River — strong subjects: timber pavilion, interpretive buildings, boardwalks, wetland reflections and riverscapes framed by native prairie. Best at golden hour or overcast for even light; spring and fall add color. Site is in a forest preserve with parking at the lot, paved paths and boardwalks (wheelchair accessible). Weekday mornings are quiet. Respect interpretive displays and local regulations.
