Cuba Marsh Forest Preserve, Barrington Hills, IL

Cuba Marsh Forest Preserve spans 787 acres across Barrington Hills and provides direct trail access for residents seeking outdoor recreation. The 3.5-mile crushed-limestone Cuba Marsh Trail runs the length of the preserve and connects to the 20-mile-long Des Plaines River Trail, allowing cyclists and runners to travel long distances without leaving the public path system. Separate equestrian trails accommodate horseback riders, and the preserve’s wetlands and oak woodlands attract birders who can observe more than 200 species during spring and fall migrations. A fishing pier on the 40-acre lake is open year-round, and a picnic shelter with restrooms sits near the main parking area at Cuba Road. The preserve lies less than five minutes by car from downtown Barrington’s Metra station, grocery stores, and restaurants, giving homeowners quick access to both extensive open space and daily conveniences.
