Things are starting to get a little spooky and fall colors are popping up! Here are my ideas for family fun this weekend in the Chicago suburbs:
Hiking Will County: Exploring Lake Renwick Preserve
Lake Renwick Preserve represents quite an extensive and unique nature preserve located in Illinois' Will County. The site once served as a spot for gravel quarrying. Lake Renwick itself is a manmade lake resulting from mining in the area. Today, the preserve provides vital habitat to a range of migratory birds and is renowned for its heron rookery. Additionally, an array of nature activities invites visitors to this stunning preserve each year.
