The Forge

Lemont Quarries is an outdoor Adventure Park that believes well-being is a mental and physical journey. Nature and the outdoors is an integral part of the human experience that enriches and enlivens us. With this in mind, Founders Jermie Bacon, Chris Gladwin and Bart Loethen’s mission is based on three pillars: to Educate, Entertain, and Exhilarate.  Education comes in the form of greatly contributing to Lemont and the surrounding communities in several areas.  For example, The Forge maintains and improves 300 acres of public land.  The Forge caters to all ages and abilities, and offers many ADA compliant attractions.  Conservation and restoration are also a part of this educational effort. Entertainment options include things such as festivals, movies, concerts and dining choices.  As for exhilaration, this is the place to be! Zip lining, paddle sports, mountain biking, rope courses, climbing towers and laser tag are just some of the ways to enjoy and experience healthy living activities.
