Once home to a large evergreen nursery with many of the trees still standing today, this Lake County Forest Preserve provides varied habitat ranging from pine grove to prairie and oak woodland. It is one of the few places in our area that has hosted nesters like Blue-winged Warblers in recent years, and late May should also yield other breeding birds as well as lingering spring migrants.

Directions: The entrance to Lyons Woods is located at the corner of Blanchard and Sheridan Roads, north of Bowen Park and south of York House Road.
