Spring Lake Forest Preserve

Score4.4

Diverse 4,000-acre preserve of prairies, wetlands, savanna, lakes and woods offering endless landscape and nature frames. Best at sunrise/sunset for golden light and reflections on Penny Road pond and Beverly/Beverly Lake; spring/fall bring migratory birds and wildflowers. Trails are rugged, unpaved and horse-used—bring boots, tick repellent and a map/GPS. Limited parking at main trailheads; no entry fee. Dogs now on-leash; expect horse traffic and occasional manure near bridle paths.
