NELSON LAKE ROAD
Batavia Township

Cyclists (above) enjoy the scenic beauty of Nelson Lake Road in western Batavia Township.  Easily the most prominent feature along the road is the Nelson Lake Forest Preserve, a spring-fed complex of marsh, fen, and open water environments formed by glacial activity with woodland and savannah along much of its border.
