Walking Trail In the summer of 2003 the City of Fox Lake Beautification Com- mittee made a dream become a reality by turning the old railroad loop into a walking trail from the Depot to Fox Lake Junction. The loop is approximately one mile long using the route through Fox Lake that the railroad company created to bring the railroad line to town. It was used until the 1960s by Fox Lake. By 2006, a prairie garden, other gardens, and several trees were planted next to the walking trail. Signage and two gated arbors on the Trenton Street entrance were also installed. Walkers can enter the trail at any point; however, the Depot Railroad Museum on Cordelia Street is considered the beginning of the trail. Any season— winter, spring, summer and fall—just look for signage and enjoy a hike on the Fox Lake Loop Walking Trail.
