"So peaceful, nicely wooded. Good trails."
"The Lincoln Marsh offers woodchip and boardwalk trails looping around a large, quiet wetland and through forested areas. Trails link to the Prairie Path, and south to Manchester Rd. Parking is available on Harrison Rd."
"Nice hidden gem in the Western Suburbs for nature lovers and forest lovers! Small preserve that contains a big prairie field, some forest patchs, mini swampy boardwalks, as well as a small pond that you can walk out too via a deck. Also part of the Illinois Prairie Path goes through this preserve and is what i took to enter the Lincoln Marsh via a bike. For my first visit i did the short mile loop that went through all of these lands scapes and found that I was alone with few people during the week on a cloudy March day. The short hike was easy, flat, as well as very peaceful for being right in the middle of the suburbs. However, if done in the summer i have heard it gets buggy so bug spray is recommended for summer months. In winter early spring however this isn't an issue. The pond deck was also very nice and peaceful as well with a sign about ut the local birds in the area. Bikes are not allowed on any woodchipped trail/the main trail through the marsh. There is a bike rack at the western entrance to lock up to walk the trail. If coming from the Illinois Prairie Path follow until you see the pond le ft left and Prairie on the right. Their should be a sign on the left after seeing these landmarks as you will see a small bike trail with a slight down incline to the left as well. Take this into the preserve to the bike rack and bathroom. Very nice for locals to unwind, for nature/bird lovers as well as a nice place to bring a date or family. As well as for picture taking. Highly recommend if you want to unwind from the metro of Chicagoland or as a destination for a long bike ride on The Illinois Prairie Path!"
"I fell in love with this park. It is full of wildlife within a reach of your palm. I had many early morning walks when there were not too many people around. Very peaceful and calming. I walked every possible path out there. I was amazed to see both the great white egret and a great blue heron just about 50 feet from each other (included a picture). As an amateur bird watcher, this was a perfect place to be at. Many, many bird species to be photographed and heard. Great place for daily walks. Btw, make sure to bring a bug spray!!!"
