Old School Forest Preserve

Score4.2
Rick Gellert

543-acre forest preserve with gravel loop trails, shaded woodlands, a pond and picnic shelters — good for intimate nature, trail and waterscape shots. Free entry and ample parking; portable bathrooms and shelters are available. Best at golden hour or early morning for soft light and low crowds; fall offers strongest color, winter gives stark compositions and cross-country-skiing activity. Note occasional highway noise and invasive plants (avoid touching Giant Hogweed). Trails are mostly gravel;
