Lincoln Marsh

Discovering hidden gems like this is the best! Beautiful trails, stunning scenery, and a serene atmosphere make for a perfect escape. Love exploring the marsh with a delicious green tea matcha latte in hand – the epitome of relaxation 😌

Hidden gem of marsh land in Wheaton. Great learning experience for kids if you go on the guided tours. It made me realize the importance of saving these precious lands from development. It's so important to prevent flooding, clean toxic waste, and regenerate ground water. There is a nice walking area around the lakes. There are some obstacle courses and even a 50 ft tall wall climbing course available only by prior appointment. There is also a fire pit but allowed only by supervision. The parking lot can have 20 cars at a time. There are 2 potable potties by the parking lot.

We never tried the west half of the marsh before. It was worth the trip. Very beautiful area with decent paths and water walkways that allow you to go out in the water to view the birds and turtles.

Amazing preserve, feels like you've entered a National Geographic video! You can hear birds everywhere. Saw herons and egrets! The trails are a perfect combination of tall shade trees on one side and open spaces on the other.

I fell in love with this park. It is full of wildlife within a reach of your palm. I had many early morning walks when there were not too many people around. Very peaceful and calming. I walked every possible path out there. I was amazed to see both the great white egret and a great blue heron just about 50 feet from each other (included a picture). As an amateur bird watcher, this was a perfect place to be at. Many, many bird species to be photographed and heard. Great place for daily walks. Btw, make sure to bring a bug spray!!!
