Linne Woods Forest Preserve, Morton Grove, IL

Linne Woods Forest Preserve offers Morton Grove residents direct access to 90 acres of mature woodlands and open meadows just off Dempster Street. The preserve maintains 1.7 miles of crushed-limestone trails that loop through oak-hickory forest and along the North Branch of the Chicago River, providing level terrain suitable for walking, jogging, and cross-country skiing. A picnic shelter with grills and tables sits near the main parking lot, while a small fishing platform overlooks the river. The site connects to the regional North Branch Trail, allowing cyclists to reach the Skokie Lagoons or downtown Evanston without driving. Birders regularly spot warblers, woodpeckers, and great blue herons in the canopy and along the water. The preserve’s entrance lies less than a mile from the Morton Grove Metra station and the village’s main commercial corridor, so residents can reach shopping, dining, and commuter service within minutes.
