Fabyan Forest Preserve mixes riverside trails, manicured gardens, historic bridges and an authentic Dutch windmill — ideal for combining landscape and architectural shots. Best at golden hour or overcast afternoons for even light. Free parking on site; no general entry fee. Trails are shared with cyclists, so plan weekday mornings for fewer people. Seasonal foliage (spring blooms, fall color) adds variety.
