East Branch Forest Preserve
525-acre wetland and forest preserve around Rush Lake with ponds, marshes and open meadows — great for wildlife, birding (bald eagles), deer and dog-action shots. Crushed limestone main trails are accessible; smaller natural paths can be muddy. Best at sunrise/sunset for light and water reflections; weekdays are quieter. Parking available at Glen Ellyn Rd lot. Note: off-leash dog areas require DuPage registration and are unfenced; stay aware of nearby train line.
