Hiking

Skokie Lagoons are a series of lagoons in this nature preserve managed by the Forest Preserve District of Cook County. Though bordered by roads, it's a nice little nature escape with kayaking, boating, fishing, bird watching, and paddling options. The lagoons are all connected and together measure about 190 acres. The water enters from Chicago Botanic Garden through the lagoons to the Skokie River, and the low dams keep the water levels below the inner islands.
