Elmhurst Salt Creek Forest Preserve is a beautiful green space with the Salt Creek Greenway meandering alongside the water. Keep an eye out for the vibrant Baltimore orioles and eastern bluebirds that can be spotted perched in the oak trees, and if you're lucky, you'll catch a glimpse of the giant largemouth bass swimming in the creek.
