Though Palatine possesses the amenities of a modern city, you'll have no trouble unwinding in the serenity of nature. Golfers love the area's top public and private courses—be sure to hit the links at Palatine Hills or Twin Lakes. The Paul Douglas Preserve provides opportunities for remote hikes and bird watching, as well as cycling. You'll also find plenty of locals trekking along the lake at Riemer Reservoir Park.
