Rode from Hebron to Richmond and back. Signage could be better when you hit the railroad tracks but other than that small area the trail is well maintained. And a lovely phase 3 quarantine reopening outing!
Very scenic. Cozy. If you’re looking for a melow ride, this is it.
Great trail but it is mostly crushed stone, careful with the thin tire hybrids

The Duck Inn Bar Wadsworth 2. Capt Porky & the Shanty Wadsworth 3. DQ : Grand Ave in Gurnee. 4. Schwinn cyclery Libertyville 5. Hansa Coffee Libertyville 6. Lots of dining in Libertyville 7.

EAsiest 20 miles we’ve ridden yet. All paved and beautiful. Stopped in Sussex and had lunch. One of our favorite trials
I ride a 3 wheel Terra Trike. I began in Wauconda, IL & rode north to Round Lake and then back down Fairfield Rd to Gilmer to the bike trail. Did this 4/10/20. Totaled 27 miles and 3 hours. Got a great workout. Am 70 years old, am 6’1”, weigh 290. So got a great workout on very scenic trail. Well maintained. Great topography. Thank you Lake County Forest for providing a lot of various trails!
This is a wonderful trail for bikes! Very wide tails traverse forest preserves, wetlands, and residential areas. Gently rollIng hills. At least 20 miles of limestone/gravel so choose wider tires. Well marked, restrooms provided and nicely maintained. Note there are no rest stops along the way so be sure to pack food and lots of water.
I grew up biking this trail so I’m very partial, but it was a great place to spend time outside, challenge myself, and explore. The fact that I could bike from my house to the DPR trail and have relatively safe access to so many forest preserves was fantastic. Quick stops off at independence grove to ride around the lakes or Dairy Queen to grab ice cream made it fantastic. Just rode again after not having visited in four years and it’s just as good as I remember, just have to watch for flooded underpasses in the spring (fun to ride through in the summer though when they’re flooded)
took it from the park and ride was about a 30 minute walk, great paved path right next to the highway
I've been on every part of the trail, hundreds and even thousands of times in some places, since it was called the 76 trail; and other nearby wild areas that were de facto part of the trail before officially being made so.
On one occasion, this included circumnavigating the county on foot in 1 day; through almost every municipality in the county, mostly on the trail, but briefly off and beyond it into Waukesha county.
Really nice trail to walk or ride bikes. Good place to take your dog for long walks. Many access points. Even has an access point to Miller Park for bikers or trail hikers. Just wish they had a few trash receptacles every mile or so. Maybe then more people would pick up after their pooches.
