What's the closest lake to the western suburbs where I could run the outboard? It doesn't have to be a good fishery, but I would like it to be somewhere I dont have to worry about hazards (e.g., a river or Braidwood)

Born has the correct answer - the only thing closer is Kankakee Conservation Area Boat Launch which is on the Kankakee River which you said you didn't want - and its literally next to Heidecke (keeping with the FREE option)
Here is both on google maps: https://goo.gl/maps/Yx2Ld4gaRTPtF5kLA
The absolute closest are Three Rivers Marine Service and Harborside Marina launches on the Illinois River where is majorly navigatable but again it's paid and on the river.
Here is a navigation map (you can do this yourself on Navionics Site too) https://i.imgur.com/khsj4u1.png
Great, thank you both
