Skokie Lagoons, Tower Rd. & Forestway Dr.
A system of seven connected lagoons, the Skokie Lagoons are part of the traditional homelands of the Ojibwa, Ottawa, and Potawatomie Tribes. With hiking trails and kayaks, canoes, and boats for rental, there are many ways to experience this tranquil area. Pack a picnic and enjoy some birdwatching or explore the trails on horseback. When the lagoons freeze over in winter, it becomes a great place for cross-country skiing.
