Salt Creek Trail (IL)

park at Dean Nature Sanctuary to avoid closure

May, 2023 by jilliannnelson

Today, we rode from Dean Nature Sanctuary to the 7-11 just south of Busse Woods and back. About 34 miles, from the parking lot of the Sanctuary. Good option during the 294 construction that has the path closed at that location. Some parts of the Salt Creek path are very bumpy.

DuPage River Trail

DuPage River trail-Hammel Woods access (Will county)

May, 2023 by jcook1950_tl

Rode from hammel woods (on black road) north to trailhead at sunset park in plainfield then south back through woods to trailhead at jefferson street in shorewood, about 10 miles roundtrip.
North of black road the asphalt pavement is flat and in excellent shape. Trail goes from the woods parking lot then north under black road and through a wide prairie along the river with no shade. South of black road the trail winds through the woods with very little slope and asphalt pavement is in good shape. Easy riding all the way.

Des Plaines River Trail

always a fun ride!

watch out for construction in the southern end of the trail—passable right now, but it may not be in a few weeks.

John Husar I&M Canal Trail

What a happy discovery!

April, 2023 by dnowatzki

I lived in the area for 34 years and rode this trail on a regular basis. It was always the most ignored and neglected of the FPDCC trails. Today I stopped by for Trail Opening/Earth Day for a short hike and found that this trail had finally been repaved! Can’t wait to enjoy the smooth surface with my bike.

Great American Rail-Trail

Great Allegheny Trail southeast of Pittsburgh?

April, 2023 by eshawger

Surprised to see this amazing trail that has great bed and breakfasts along it is not noted as part of the Great American Rail Trail. It sure would help demonstrate more GART completion if it was.

Deer Grove Trail

great forest preserve trail

April, 2023 by jcook1950_tl

Rode trail on a sunny saturday afternoon in early april with not many other users on it. Only used paved road in section west of quentin road that was moderately hilly and scenic with deer sighted. East of quentin is camp reinberg that is worth a stop for restroom and concessions. Trail on this east section is fairly flat and loops around a very large prairie. Trail condition was excellent.

Orland Park Bikeway

a Walker

April, 2023 by jnewest_tl

Not all the way around the lake is paved. Some gravel. Then off trail too. Showing its age in some spots. so rough for bikes. But bringing my boots to see if the off trail goes around the lake?? Liked the wooden path over the marsh area. Didn’t go through housing area.

Great Western Trail (IL)

Beautiful trail but needs maintenance

March, 2023 by ck4grands

I frequently am on the GNW Trail between Gary Avenue and County Farm Road. The location is beautiful but the surface has become very uneven for bicyclists as well as for runners. It is so uneven that runners risk sprained ankles. Is there a way you could even it out? Thank you.

Tall Grass Greenway Trail

Good for performance cycling and railfanning

March, 2023 by agtheminecrafter

Asphalt trail allows faster speeds compared to limestone trails. Vermont Cemetery Preserve is a good spot for railfanning (before wall) due to train tracks along Normantown Trail

Lake Arlington Walking Path

Very nice!

March, 2023 by am8ris

It is a nice setting. It has a lane for walking and a lane for bikes. Last I was there, dogs were not allowed. I enjoyed this trail. It’s a big circle. There is also a park for kids.

Prospect Heights Bike Path

Dog land mines

January, 2023 by cpacyk

I frequently walk my dog on this trail and am becoming increasingly disturbed by the need to dodge the droppings of other people's dogs because they refuse to pick up after them. Perhaps there needs to be better signage, more trash receptacles, or even a dog poop bag dispenser to encourage people to pick up after their pets. It's so gross! There is literal poop on the path and in the areas surrounding the path.
