Forest Preserves of Cook County 2025 Fall Brochure

fpdcc.com Fall is one of the most breathtaking times to experience the Forest Preserves of Cook County. As the season changes, our woodlands, prairies and wetlands transform into a brilliant display of reds, oranges and golds. The crisp air and colorful landscapes make it the perfect time to explore nature, whether you’re walking a leaf-covered trail, enjoying a bike ride or paddling along a quiet waterway. Fall also brings exciting seasonal activities like watching migrating birds, attending spooky-themed events with the family and sitting around a warm campfire under the stars. These moments in nature offer more than recreation; they provide space to recharge, reflect and reconnect with loved ones and the world around us. The Forest Preserves is a place for everyone, with free, accessible opportunities to enjoy the outdoors close to home. I invite all residents to discover the peacefulness and beauty of fall in the preserves. From scenic views to memorable experiences, there’s no better time to enjoy the natural wonders that belong to all of us, right here in Cook County.
