This trail, although short, is very nicely designed and has a lot of scenery and shade. You will park at the park, where there is a lot of space to do so, there are really awesome playground equipment areas for the kids, lots of picnic tables with shady trees (plus for dogs!), and even grills in case you want to make a day of it. Again, the trail itself is short, but very well maintained, many clean sitting areas-some with fountains, and some really neat bridges to go over along the way. The trail is pretty shaded, great for warmer days. You can extend your ride if you want by going into trails that lead in and out of subdivisions. There is also a war memorial at one end of the trail. If you get hungry, there are a lot of different restaurants and even some antique stores right there in Plainfield. The trail also goes over a scenic river-way where you can fish if you like. We put this on the list to do with kids.
