An Edgewater Beach Connects Straight to the Lakefront Trail

Foster Beach gives an Edgewater outing an expansive stretch of Lake Michigan sand, with sweeping open views across the water. Settle into a casual day along the shore, keeping the lake at the center of your plans. A historic beach house anchors the setting, adding a landmark to this neighborhood stretch.

The beach has direct access to the Lakefront Trail, a connection that brings walkers, runners and cyclists past the sand. Fold a pause by the water into a longer walk or ride, or make the beach the destination and leave the onward stretch for another day.

Volleyball courts add a more active option to the Chicago Park District setting. The clean surroundings and community atmosphere give the waterfront a neighborhood character, with space for a gathering that can revolve around a game or simply some time beside the lake.
