I fell in love with this park. It is full of wildlife within a reach of your palm. I had many early morning walks when there were not too many people around. Very peaceful and calming. I walked every possible path out there. I was amazed to see both the great white egret and a great blue heron just about 50 feet from each other included a picture. As an amateur bird watcher, this was a perfect place to be at. Many, many bird species to be photographed and heard. Great place for daily walks. Btw, make sure to bring a bug spray!!!
Stopped to visit while waiting on a timed entry to the Arboretum. Pretty neat place to do some hiking and see some wildlife. My girls had fun
What a find. I can’t wait to come back. Wear bug spray. Waterproof hiking shoes are essential after rains. You can easily get lost here so don’t be in a hurry the first time you come.
A very pretty not so frill, but all be it fairly large and another fantastic free nature filled escape located just about an hour away from the city, set in the western burbs. It’s a great spot to step out for a stretch and step away from the screen. No beaches to wade away but great hiking or catch a planed park district event or go geocaching. Loads to take in and lots of places to play. It’s a great spot to spend an hour or afternoon. Read all the signs 1st. Good spot for kiddos that is with proper supervision of course as there is a large body of open water accessible please note there’s really no places to go for help immediately near by after 4pm or people working there. Just always practice caution as you would with any body of water or open water source. It’s also shorter to access from the office easy side on Lincoln. It’s behind the house off the drive way side. No major stairs or hills that I saw. Lots of dust/dirt kicked up though and wood chips galore. I’d also say to Bug spray all day if your gonna play, IL has ticks for days. Unfortunately we went to grab a nature kit but had to cut it short due to a weirdo at the park. So we will have to wait to add a few more pics here on a later date, as this visit was sadly cut short after a man acting all sketchy suddenly showed up hiding and parking like in a tree and stayed there watching us unload the car light hair late 30-40’s crusty looking white guy not properly dressed for a run or a hike looked like he walked off a job site, not out for a jog nor did he fit on the the mini teal “Vespa” like moto scooter he rolled up by a good 50 or so lbs. but hey who am I to talk to personal tastes, I’m just saying. We reloaded a booked it out quick cause this mama don’t play. Again, just always be vigilant of your surroundings and stay safe especially in the woods. Now this is not to detour as we will definitely be back very soon in daytime hours when it’s staffed and hopefully my awesome 6’3” wall of hubby can come too. So grab friend go and get outside into nature. This is one spot you should tally go! Read more see our links @ thechicagomom.com
Good park but don’t count on the restrooms. I’m pregnant and hiked this with my dog to get exercise. To say I was counting on the restrooms on the grounds map being open by the time I got to them is an understatement. If you’re going to lock your public restrooms, at least mark it on your outdoor maps so people like me know not to count on them.
We had so much fun here, exploring the marsh, hiking, and looking for turtles and frogs we found several of both!. This is a very fun place to spend several hours, we're already planning our next trip here. FYI: there are only portable toilets at both parking lot entrances, so you may want to plan ahead if you have little ones!
Beautiful place for hiking and biking, a lot of birds and flowers.
Love Lincoln Marsh! We always see frogs. A bit stinky this time of year but i mean.. what else do you expect? Wear bug spray!
I thought a slushy ice covered snow covered walkway would be horrible but it was a nice well maintained walkway. So nice to have nature amongst the chaos of the city
Lovely little swamp/marsh/pond with a couple floating observation docks. Plan on catching sight of some snappers. Apart from the normal entry point there's also another observation balcony/dock along the bike trail. Cheggidout
