We had booked several single and tandem kayaks which got launched swiftly from the shore.
There are a couple of lake islands at Whalon. One of them had a reposeful Great White Egret.
The entire lake shimmered under soft late summer sun.
A few geese were floating alongside.
Post the kayak, you can take the easy trail around the lake or bike on the DuPage River Trail. We did the out-and-back bike trail with the kids.
That’s it!
