Grassy Lake Forest Preserve spans over 300 acres in North Barrington, with more than 3 miles of multi-use trails winding through woodlands, wetlands, and restored prairies. The preserve features two lakes—Grassy Lake and the smaller North Grassy Lake—where visitors can launch non-motorized boats from the designated canoe/kayak launch or fish from the shoreline. A gravel parking area with restrooms and picnic tables is located off Fairfield Road, providing direct access to the trail system and lakefront. The preserve is bordered by the Cuba Marsh Forest Preserve to the south, creating a larger contiguous natural area. It sits within 10 minutes of downtown Barrington, which offers Metra rail service to Chicago, and is adjacent to the 27-hole Makray Memorial Golf Course. These attributes make the preserve a consistent draw for residents seeking regular outdoor access without traveling far from home.
