With over 120 acres to explore, Raceway Woods Forest Preserve offers hikers a peaceful natural retreat. Trails loop through savanna, prairie, and woodland, skirting a babbling brook and seeping springs. Although the preserve is named after a former racetrack, tranquility now prevails. Wander the preserve’s gently rolling landscape, observing native plants and animals, pausing under the open sky.
