Nature Hike

Fort Sheridan Forest Preserve
1005 Vattman Rd

Lake Forest, IL

Research demonstrates that outdoor exercise, such as hiking, offers health and well-being benefits. Join the group for a ½ mile walk together from the Fort Sheridan Military Cemetery parking lot north to the Jean & John Green Nature Preserve where we will enjoy a 2 mile hike in the preserve. Our total hike with the walk to and from the parking lot will be 3 miles. Wear comfortable hiking or running shoes, dress for the weather, and bring plenty of water. The hiking terrain is not paved and we may encounter irregular surface paths – all part of the beauty and joy of the hike!
