Celebrating in Lyons
Lyons sits on the Des Plaines River at the historic Chicago Portage, the spot where early explorers carried canoes between the Great Lakes and Mississippi watersheds. Today, the Chicago Portage National Historic Site and Hofmann Tower mark that past, and the surrounding forest preserves give Lyons a green, open feel despite the nearby expressways. Few suburbs can claim a canoe-portage past, and locals take pride in that history even when the setting is just a backyard cookout.
Groves near the Des Plaines River need a Forest Preserves of Cook County permit and a short carry.
Lighting here: Park events usually end at dusk; if yours does not, battery lanterns and uplights avoid the need for power.
Modest lots suit long tables and stackable chairs. Measure first.
