Scenic Trail in Lincoln Park
By twirlymaker in November, 2011
A busy, noteworthy Trail. Enjoyed the scenery on this autumn day, lucky that the high rise apartment buildings sheltered the trail from a strong west wind. Noel Keller 14 Oct 2011
not good for a legitimate workout... only for putzing around

North of Navy Pier this path is full of dogs, cell phone talkers, iPod listeners, strollers, inattentive bikers/ runners, roller bladers etc etc. and only good for getting to point B from point A slow-ish-ly (and not a legitimate workout). Be careful and pay attention!
Awesome Trail

The views on this trail are amazing. Chicago's skyline at night is just superb! You should try this trail!
