This is a beautiful preserve on the lakefront, connected to a wetland complex owned by the USFWS. I live nearby and have been to this park in every season and wanted to note that it's open during the winter. The trails can get a little icy but it's just as lovely covered in snow. It can get pretty busy in the summer and on weekends so the colder months have become my favorite time to visit.
