Cuba Marsh Forest Preserve

Highlight • Forest

Nestled within the 781 acres of Cuba Marsh Forest Preserve lies a tale of transformation. Initially prairie and marsh, settlers reshaped the landscape, draining marshes and cultivating crops. In the 1950s and 60s, amidst the threat of development, local visionaries from "Citizens for Conservation" joined forces with the Lake County Forest Preserves to safeguard this haven. Formerly graced by a mansion, canals, and forested islands, Cuba Marsh's history mirrors the changing tides of land use. Its name, inspired by Cuba Road, reflects a connection to the historical twists of Cuba Township, offering visitors a glimpse into a rich and preserved natural legacy.
