Fort Sheridan Forest Preserve spans 250 acres of preserved lakefront land in Lake Forest, with more than four miles of trails winding through oak savannas, wetlands, and restored prairie. The preserve’s paved path runs along the shoreline, providing direct access to Lake Michigan and views of the Chicago skyline on clear days. Equestrians use the designated riding trails, while cyclists and runners share the multi-use Green Bay Trail segment that borders the property. Picnic shelters and restrooms sit near the main parking area off Old Elm Road, and a fenced dog exercise area allows off-leash access. The preserve is adjacent to the Fort Sheridan Metra station, placing downtown Chicago within a 50-minute train ride, and it lies less than two miles from both the Lake Forest Library and downtown shopping and dining districts.
