Originally a spiritual retreat center managed by the Sisters of Mercy, the site was bequeathed to the Forest Preserve District in 1992 and named in honor of Kateri Tekakwitha, a 17th-century Mohawk Indian. Visitors can enjoy a variety of recreational activities, including hiking, wildlife viewing, and access to an off-leash dog area nearby.
