Dog Sled Area is a 240-acre preserve in Waukegan that centers on a former sled-dog training facility and now functions as a year-round outdoor destination. Roughly six miles of mowed trails wind through restored prairie and oak savanna, connecting to the Des Plaines River Trail and allowing residents to walk, run, or bicycle directly from neighborhood streets into open space. In winter, the same terrain supports cross-country skiing and snowshoeing on ungroomed routes, while a fenced, off-leash dog area provides a dedicated space for pet exercise. Picnic shelters, a small parking lot, and restrooms sit near the main trailhead, and the site lies less than two miles from IL Route 131, placing grocery stores, schools, and the Waukegan National Airport within a short drive.
Dog Sled Area currently has 4 single family homes for sale, 1 condo for sale, and 2 lots for sale.
