Middlefork Savanna Forest Preserve 1401 Middlefork Drive, Lake Forest, IL 60045

"One of my favorite forest preserves in North side of Chicago. The trials are made up of grass, have cool benches and a lake with lots of wildlife to watch. I saw a crane, fish, turtles and birds. For sure I will be back."

"Good trail for walking or biking. End of trail branch out to 2 separate trails: the east and west north shore trails. Love the bridge over the train tracks. Keep an eye out for beautiful herons on the ponds."

"This is a wonderful place to enjoy the flora and fauna of Norther Illinois. The scenic, 4-mile crushed gravel trail is very well kept and great for running. It winds through the preserve's lovely mix of tall grass savanna, woodlands, marshes and prairies, and over the North Branch of the Chicago River."

"Ok place. I’m sure I would’ve liked it more sure my dogs, but they weren’t allowed on many of the paths- which I understand because it was to protect uncommon habitats and nesting birds- consequently we were limited to a bike path. Pretty place with a really interesting variety of environments. The one thing I have to mention is I came home with so many ticks on my dogs and found one of my leg the next day so be careful!"
