Abundant Activities

Visitors can travel the North Shore on a day trip, but there’s plenty to do if you have a weekend or a full vacation. From Chicago’s city limits, Sheridan Road winds through Evanston, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Glencoe, Highland Park, Lake Forest, and Lake Bluff―the waterfront towns that lead nearly to Wisconsin. To fully explore the area, Evanston makes an ideal base.
