Pine Dunes is one of the newest forest preserves in the north central part of Lake County. Nestled in the rolling hills and savannas are several small ponds/wetland areas. Depending upon water levels, a good mix of swans, geese and ducks are often present in fall. Ducks may include shovelers, gadwall, wigeons, buffleheads, hooded merganser and ruddy ducks. Lingering sparrows should also be seen in the grasslands.
