Turn in where the bull is.

The trail is a 2.4 mile loop usually considered to be easy.

This preserve boasts three wetlands totaling 120 acres, 80 acres of woodland with predominantly Burr oak, Hickory, and Cherry trees. Two peninsulas separate two large wetlands.

As a symbol of its former use, the original Ray Lake Farm cattle statue remains atop a stone tower to greet visitors as they enter the preserve.

Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash.

There are Five miles of trails in Van Patten Woods. Dogs are allowed.

Van Patten Woods was Lake County’s first forest preserve, created in 1961 with a 162-acre purchase. In the 1970s the abandoned gravel pit that is now Sterling Lake was acquired.

The preserve is named in honor of David Van Patten, President of the Lake County Forest Preserves in 1960. The former gravel pit was once known as Vulcan Lake. Following a "name-the-lake" contest, it was renamed Sterling Lake in honor of Sterling Township, the previous name for Newport Township.
