Introduction

Detering Nature Preserve is a relatively recent ACRES acquisition that still reveals its farmstead past.

Though few of the trees growing here are large, they are beginning to transform the property into forest; doubtless it will be quite nice in another fifty years. For now, the understory is still relatively thick, with shrubs and invasives like multiflora rose.

Views of the lake and adjacent shore are appealing, with lily pads and other emergent vegetation, but the far shore is developed.

Trails

Lanes and trails allow access through the woods and to the southern shore of Round Lake.

Facilities

None.
