Miami Woods Forest Preserve spans 325 acres along the North Branch of the Chicago River in Morton Grove. The preserve contains 3.2 miles of paved multi-use trails suitable for walking, running, and cycling, plus a 1.1-mile equestrian trail. A public boat launch at the Beck Lake access point provides canoe and kayak entry. Picnic shelters and restrooms are available at the main parking area off Dempster Street. The forest supports diverse bird populations, including warblers, woodpeckers, and waterfowl, while its mature oak and hickory stands create continuous canopy cover. The preserve connects directly to the North Branch Trail system, allowing residents to reach the Skokie Lagoons and the Chicago Botanic Garden by bicycle. Its location between the Edens Expressway and the Metra Milwaukee District North Line places downtown Chicago within a 25-minute commute by car or train. Nearby grocery stores, restaurants, and retail centers along Dempster Street and Waukegan Road serve daily needs without leaving Morton Grove.
