Riverwoods Road in Riverwoods. Informational signs are placed along a designated trail at Ryerson Woods for visitors to enjoy at their own pace during forest preserve hours, 6:30 a.m. to sunset. There is no charge and registration is not required. Follow signs from the Ryerson Woods Welcome Center to the trail head. Self-guided tours ends March 31.
