Skokie Lagoons are a beautiful lagoon system to the north of Chicago. A nature preserve, the area is rich in plant, bird and animal life, so there are plenty of opportunities to see everything from green herons to snapping turtles.
There's a great cycle trail around the lagoons – the North Branch Trail – and lots of places where you can stop for a picnic and enjoy the views.
