Goodnow Grove is closest forest
preserve to
where I live. It's also one of the largest local preserves I
know of. Very diverse, it is a good showcase
for aquatic, forest, and prairie wildlife. Plum Creek Nature
Center also has exhibits on prairie wildlife.
Long winding trails snake through the beautifully wooded
areas. They
are ideal for hiking or bicycling.
The large maintained grassy areas are nice for picnicking
and sports.
The preserve is dominated by a huge hill. From the top you
can survey the surrounding forest and prairie setting. It's perfect
for
kite flying in the summer and groomed for sledding in the winter.
All around a very nice place to visit.
