Maywood Grove features a carry-in canoe landing providing access to the Des Plaines River for paddlers with canoes and kayaks.

Located at Ohio Street & Des Plaines Avenue in Maywood, the facility is managed by the Forest Preserves of Cook County and offers a parking lot, accessible portable bathroom, and is open year-round from sunrise to sunset.

The site also serves as home to the Greater Maywood Paddling Program, which provides organized kayaking experiences and gear access for trained community group leaders.
