Lake St. Benedict (also known as "the slough") is a natural pond located on the southwest edge of our Benedictine University campus. The lake and adjacent trails are used both for study and recreation by the campus community. They are also open to the public for the enjoyment of our Lisle and Naperville neighbors.
