Mike’s Thoughts: This preserve will reward you every time you visit. So visit often. Situated along the Lake Michigan shore, the phrase, “cooler near the lake,” describes the climate here. On sweltering summer days, Chiwaukee Prairie is a refreshing place to visit. And, please, please, don’t miss the “hyperventilatingly beautiful” display of shooting stars in May.
Notes: No official trails, so please wander with care.
