Northerly Island Park | Illinois Photo Spot

Northerly Island Park is a 119-acre park situated along the Lake Michigan shoreline on Chicago’s beautiful Museum Campus. Chicago’s famous architect and planner Daniel H. Burnham imagined Northerly Island as one of the northernmost points in a series of man-made islands stretching between Grant and Jackson Parks and exists as the only island to be completed. This lakefront Natural Area features prairie and savanna, a 5-acre pond, and strolling paths that offer great views for observing birds and other native wildlife. There are over 150 different varieties of native plants and an emerging savanna with 20,000 trees and shrubs, all of which provide an ecosystem for migratory and local birds. Plus this island has amazing views over the surrounding Chicago skyline – especially in the evening as the lights of the city come on. (Chicago, Illinois, USA)
