Fox Lake is a station on Metra's Milwaukee District/North Line in Fox Lake, Illinois. The station is located on Nippersink Boulevard at Grand Avenue (IL 132), is 49.5 miles (79.7 km) away from Union Station, the southern terminus of the line, and serves commuters between Union Station and Fox Lake, Illinois. A large coach yard is just southeast of the station and has several storage tracks to store extra trains during off-peak hours and on weekends. The station is the northern terminus of the Milwaukee District/North Line. Until 1982 commuter trains continued to Walworth, Wisconsin and until the creation of Amtrak in 1971, inter-city trains like the Varsity and the Sioux, both operated by the Milwaukee Road, connected Fox Lake with Janesville, Madison, and Rapid City.
