Sterne’s Woods and Fen Park and Preserve

Crystal Lake, Illinois

Welcome to the beautifull and natural Sterne's Woods and Fen Park and Preserve, a suburban Chicago nature preserve in Crystal Lake, Illinois. This place was first added to the Illinois list of nature preserves in 1994 and since that time it has had multipurpose trails for all seasons winding through the forest. Some of the wild animals that call this place home include white-tailed deer, raccoons, rabbits, hawks, and many others. It makes a great place for bird-watching.
