CHI (P) - Hike Fort Sheridan Trails & Lunch 102525
About this event
Fort Sheridan in Lake Forest is a scenic destination known for its pristine natural areas and excellent birdwatching. The preserves savanna, ravines and the lakefront location presents one of North America's busiest flyways for migratory birds. We will hike the 1.7 mile Birding Trail Loop, over the James Ravine, past the Army cemetery and through the woodlands and savanna to the top of Lake Bluff. The park offers self-guided educational exhibits along the trails and woodlands, and there is bench seating for an occasional break.
Fort Sheridan is located at 1275 Gilgare Lane, Lake Forest, 60045, approx 45-50 minute drive from the city. There is free public access to Fort Sheridan.
Meet at Charlene's apartment at 9:45am (free parking on her street) to carpool to Fort Sheridan.
Charlene will be one driver – we will need additional drivers, so please volunteer if you can. Charlene's address provided after registration.
We will meet at a local restaurant for lunch.
