Lake Katherine


A walk through the garden paths of Lake Katherine in Palos, IL lets one focus on nature of all kinds. Wildlife lives among the diverse plant life, and they are all rather used to people walking around, so photos are fairly easy to obtain.

Spring is a great time to visit, the plants are beginning to grow and become colorful. It's not yet time for the formal gardens, but the spring bulbs are blooming.

Beavers, ducks, geese, blackbirds, robins, great blue heron, green heron and snakes are just the beginning of the wildlife you can find if you look around.

The geese and ducks are beginning to raise families, and soon the lake and waterfall area will be filled with young water birds.
