A compact forest preserve of mixed hardwoods, small streams and wetland pockets that shine in spring wildflowers and vivid autumn foliage.

Best at golden hours and after rain for saturated colors; visit weekdays or early mornings to avoid walkers. Easy roadside parking on Old Mill Rd; trails are moderate—wear waterproof shoes and insect repoint
