DuPage is a sought out urban escape for outdoor enthusiasts, and there’s good reason why. Studies show that spending time outdoors has a positive effect on your mood, your physical response to your environment, and your overall well-being. More importantly, studies show that the very act of being outside helps release tension and spending just 10 minutes a day outdoors can prolong your life and make you feel more connected with yourself and the world around you. So, whether you’re into kayaking, fishing, hiking, biking, or simply walking – we invite you to venture outdoors in DuPage. #DuMoreAdventuring
