A 2-mile segment of trail represents the beginning of a planned regional trail that will eventually connect Lakewood and Ray Lake Forest Preserves, the Millennium Trail, Fremont School, Mundelein High School, the Lake County Fairgrounds, Saddlebrook Farms and Prairie Crossing developments, and the Metra station at Prairie Crossing.
The trail is open to hiking, biking, cross-country skiing and horseback riding. A trail tunnel at Gilmer Road offers trail users a safe connection between Lakewood and Ray Lake. Preserve trails at Ray Lake are open to equestrians. |
