Big Marsh Park is 300 acres of natural area, including eco-recreational opportunities, such as birding, hiking, and a bike park featuring mountain bike single-track trails, pump tracks, and paved bike paths. Big Marsh Park is managed by the Chicago Park District and supported by Friends of Big Marsh, a 501(c)(3) organization.
The Friends of Big Marsh outfitter has everything you need to explore Big Marsh Park, including bike rentals, merchandise, and snacks.
Visitors can learn more about the Calumet Region’s rich cultural and natural history by paying a visit to the new Ford Calumet Environmental Center (FCEC). The center offers a variety of public programs for all ages to enjoy, as well as classroom spaces open to school and community groups.
