Depends on what you mean by "worthwhile" but yes, several.

There is a nice park around Brookfiled Zoo....and a good zoo too.....if you are into that.

Then there is the Fox river valley. Around here, you need to find a river to find a curve in the road. About 20-30 miles west of the loop; state routes 25 and 31 go along the river and there are some REAL nice neighborhoods (for the mid-west) in Batavia....built by folks associated with Fremi Lab.

Then there is SR 102 and 113 northwest of Kankakee; that's a bit farther out.

Then there is Lake Shore drive and Sheridan Drive north of the Loop.
That is more urban but still interesting, I think.

I'm 75 miles from Kankakee and I'd be pleased to buy lunch if you decide to go down there.
