Midlothian Meadows Forest Preserve, Midlothian, IL

Midlothian Meadows Forest Preserve covers more than 400 acres of rolling terrain in south Cook County, with three miles of crushed-stone and natural-surface trails that accommodate hiking, jogging, and cross-country skiing. The preserve contains several kettle-hole ponds that support fishing and bird-watching, while its open meadows and restored prairies host native wildflowers and butterflies. Picnic shelters, a playground, and an archery range are available near the main parking area on 147th Street. The preserve is bordered by the Midlothian Reservoir and connects to the Cal-Sag Trail, allowing cyclists and pedestrians to travel west toward the I&M Canal or east toward Palos Forest Preserves. Its location on the southern edge of Midlothian places residents within a five-minute drive of Interstate 57, Metra Electric District service at the Midlothian station, and the shops and restaurants along Cicero Avenue.
