Danada Forest Preserve in Wheaton, IL is a 797-acre natural oasis featuring prairies, woods, wetlands, and a large wetland complex that supports a variety of wildlife. Visitors can enjoy nearly 3 miles of scenic trails for hiking, biking, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing, as well as fishing for bass, bluegill, catfish, and crappie along the shores of Rice Lake. The preserve also offers picnic areas and the Danada Equestrian Center, which provides educational and recreational experiences including lessons, group tours, and summer camps.
With a rich history as the former home of Daniel and Ada Rice, and Kentucky Derby winner Lucky Debonair, Danada preserves the legacy of the Rice estate and its champion Thoroughbreds. The equestrian center features a 26-stall barn modeled after the stables in Lexington, Kentucky, and a 0.5-mile regulation racetrack. The preserve's diverse natural features, including a restored prairie and Parson's Grove, make it a haven for wildlife and native wildflowers. Danada Forest Preserve offers a peaceful escape and opportunities for outdoor recreation and exploration.
