6. Deer Grove Forest Preserve

I visited Deer Grove Forest Preserve in Palatine on a beautiful Fall day in November. The preserve offers a myriad of different activities to connect with nature. The preserve is in two units, East and West. Deer Grove West is a heavily wooded area and the main trail here is a mountain bike or hiking loop trail which is about a six-mile long. Deer Grove East is more open with prairies, shaded savannas and wetlands. The main trail here is a relatively flat 2.8-mile paved loop trail. Well crafted interpretive spur trails branch off this trail drawing the visitor’s attention to different basic nature themes: land, sky, and water. Deer Grove is absolutely worth a visit. Ample parking and picnic shelters are available.

The Palatine Public Library is a great location not only for checking out books and/or DVDs, but the library also offers many other amenities. Multiple meeting rooms and conference spaces available. They have the standard computer lab areas as well as a great digital media laboratory. For the younger kids, there is a play area with various toys and a few interactive computer screens. Library offers many presentations and programs throughout the year, which are suitable for adults and/or kids of varying ages. Most of these programs are free to attend, although some of them require the attendees to be members of the library. As for the physical location, they do an admirable job keeping the place clean and in good repair. Interior is well lit and in good shape. Parking garage can be a little darker due to the nature of the garage, but the exterior areas are also keep clean and neat. While the Palatine Public Library isn’t necessarily a destination stop for those who are traveling/vacationing, it is a great place with many wonderful options available!
