Northeast Winthrop Harbor

Hike around the Spring Bluff Forest Preserve with your four-legged friend by your side. The preserve has one trail that is 1.7-miles long where you and Fido can walk along and discover a pond where you can stop to cool off. The trail is perfect for any hiker and their dog since it only has an elevation gain of 3-feet on a loop style route. The preserve is located along the lake, so while you are hiking, you can enjoy a beautiful scenic view the entire time. Your dog will love exploring this forested area, but make sure to keep him on a leash the entire time since there is wildlife running throughout the preserve.
