Lake of the Woods Forest Preserve

Lake of the Woods Forest Preserve is 900 acres of wooded parkland featuring opportunities for fishing, boating, hiking, picnicking, cross-country skiing, sledding and more. Rentals of pedal boats, kayaks and rowboats are available Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend.

Kids love the Hi-Tower, a six-story observation platform giving spectacular views.
