No matter where you live in Lake County, you’re fortunate to have a forest preserve within about a 10-minute drive of your home. It makes sense your nearby preserve is the one you know best and frequent most often. Have you thought about expanding your experience to other preserves and trails in the area? Your forest preserves provide an amazing network of trails—207.3 miles to be exact—that connect to countless other routes in Lake County. Two vital regional trail and greenway corridors are the 31.4-mile Des Plaines River Trail (DPRT) and the 32.4-mile Millennium Trail, 24.9 miles of which we own. They are the crown jewels of the forest preserve system. Both connect to neighboring trails, forest preserves, residential areas, parks, schools, and business districts. Both are ideal destinations for expanded outdoor adventures. There are so many other recreational treasures in the Lake County Forest Preserves for you to explore. To help us narrow the field of possibilities and make it easy to navigate, we asked our resident trail experts Randy Seebach, director of planning and development, and Nick Spittlemeister, GIS analyst, to highlight a few expanded experiences you can try this fall.
