Fort Hill Trail

A two-mile segment of trail represents the beginning of a planned regional trail, which, when completed, will connect Lakewood and Ray Lake forest preserves, the Millennium Trail, Fremont School, Mundelein High School, the new Lake County Fairgrounds, Saddlebrook Farms and Prairie Crossing developments, and the Metra station at Prairie Crossing.

A future trail tunnel under Gilmer Road is planned for the connection eastward to Ray Lake Forest Preserve.

 
Location
A trailhead parking area is located on the west side of Gilmer Road, north of Route 176, near Wauconda.
 
History

Fort Hill, for which this trail is named, is a high knoll and historic landmark overlooking Peterson Road in Mundelein.
