Lake Forest Open Lands: Derwen Mawr Nature Preserve
Small preserve of oak savanna, prairie and pockets of wetland offering layered grasses, scattered mature oaks and quiet water edges — great for intimate landscape and nature studies. Visit spring for wildflowers, late summer for tallgrass textures, and fall for warm color and low sun. Best light is golden hour; weekdays and early mornings avoid walkers. Trails are unpaved but short; free entry and roadside parking on Golf Ln. Bring insect protection in warm months.
