PROJECT TRAIL:Skokie Valley Trail extension

  • States: Illinois
  • Counties: Cook
  • Length: 6.8 miles
  • Trail end points: Lake Cook Road (Northbrook) to Old Orchard Road (South of Glenview)
From Skokie Valley Trail Feasibility Study:

The proposed trail spans 6.8 miles through the Skokie Valley in Cook County, Illinois, extending south from Lake Cook Road in Northbrook to Old Orchard Road just south of Glenview. The corridor runs west of and parallel to Skokie Boulevard and the Edens Expressway (I-94). It passes through the Villages of Northbrook, Glencoe, Northfield, Glenview and Wilmette. The proposed multi-use trail will connect the local population with the existing system of off-road trails and on-street bikeways. It will link the Skokie Valley Bikeway in Lake County with the existing and planned trails in the Villages of Skokie and Lincolnwood, and with the City of Chicago to the south.
