McMahon Woods Forest Preserve, Palos Hills, IL

McMahon Woods Forest Preserve in Palos Hills spans 175 acres of rolling woodland and wetland terrain. The preserve features four miles of maintained trails open to hiking, biking, and horseback riding, with a designated equestrian parking area off 111th Street. A 1.8-mile paved loop accommodates families with strollers, while the unpaved interior paths offer access to the preserve’s oak-hickory forest and cattail marshes. Picnic tables and grills sit near the main lot, and portable restrooms are available year-round. The site connects directly to the Cal-Sag Trail, allowing cyclists to travel east toward the I&M Canal or west into the Palos Forest Preserves complex. Seasonal hunting is permitted under controlled permits, and the preserve participates in the district’s deer-management program. Its location adjacent to residential subdivisions places trailheads within a short drive of shopping centers on 103rd Street and the Metra Rock Island District line at 107th Street, giving residents quick access to both outdoor recreation and regional transit.
