A few steps from the asphalt trail. Enjoy the walk, notice the ravine and the restoration.
New trails and parking area are now open at Fort Sheridan Forest Preserve, providing the first official public access to this section of Lake Michigan shoreline in over 100 years.
The 1.3-mile Lake Michigan Trail runs from Old Elm Road at Sheridan Road through the Preserve to Lake Michigan, where visitors can enjoy 0.75 miles of shoreline owned and managed by the Lake County Forest Preserves. Swimming and boating are not allowed on this section of Lake Michigan.
A 0.3-mile asphalt educational trail loops around the Preserve's historic parade grounds, and a 0.3-mile woodchip trail provides scenic views. The trail also features an expansive trail bridge over an ecologically sensitive ravine.
The new trails and bridge are part of the Preserve's Master Plan, approved in 2003 by the Lake County Board of Commissioners to improve public access to Lake Michigan and preserve natural resources including restoring 65 acres of native prairies and plantings and stabilizing ecologically sensitive ravines.
