Middle Fork River Forest Preserve
Small forest preserve along the Middle Fork River offering wooded trails, river bends, oxbows and seasonal wetlands — strong for intimate landscape and nature shots.

Expect limited facilities and low crowds on weekdays; insect repellent recommended in warm months.
