Although this nature preserve is surrounded by busy roads and highways, it feels like you are at a quiet summer camp. Several trails are available for hiking; bikes allowed on the paved areas only. The paths go past the Des Plaines River, through woods and meadows, so with even a brief walk there is a fair amount of natural diversity. This is a good place to see orioles and bluebirds.

It's one of the best places to enjoy nature in Lake County. The outer loop is 2.5 miles around, which is perfect for a walk, jog, or bike ride. If you're feeling ambitious, the trail connects to the Des Plaines River Trail, which will take you all way up to Wisconsin.
At the marina, you can rent a variety of boats - kayaks, canoes, pedal boats, and more recently, paddle boards. The cafe serves up tasty food in the summer months. What's not to love!

18 mins drive north east to a great beach and forest preserve! It has big rocks for climbing, “sea-like” waves, and pebbles on the sand. The water is so pretty. It has walking trails too with free parking onsite.

It's big, noisy, and crowded, but it remains a Chicago favorite for seafood. This restaurant boasts one of the highest volumes of customers in the country. The crab, not surprisingly, ranks as the specialty, and a fresh catch is flown in daily, always served either grilled or steamed

Great portions, really well-flavored. Appropriately named Big Bowl, this Lincolnshire restaurant has delicious food. A little high on the rates, but the food is high on quality and low on oil. The menu is a little limited, but what's on it pretty much satisfies the palate. The staff is knowledgeable about the dishes and is helpful with their suggestions

Chicago-style deep dish pizza is the heartiest of the pizza varieties and typically eaten with a knife and fork. The dough is patted out by hand and raised up high on the sides of a seasoned deep dish pizza pan. True Chicago-style pizza actually has a rather thin crust that compliments the delicious toppings.
