North Park Walking Stick Woods Natural Area

North Park Walking Stick Woods Natural Area is a 12-acre natural area in Chicago offering a unique opportunity to experience nature in an urban environment.

Winding soft-surface paths lead through a variety of ecosystems, where you can admire the distinctive yellow flowers of the American senna, the umbrella leaves of the mayflower or the rugged bark of the elm tree.
