LaSalle Trail

Good Tail

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It has a nice round trip, with mostly smooth pavement except by Roseland park, so maybe skip that section.

Mishawaka Riverwalk

Okay

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's an okay trail with a nice round trip, and some enjoyable sights.

Coal Line Trail

Very Nice

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

Nice and open to nature with a brief urban stint with not too many road crossings.

I would recommend this trail to anyone looking.

Accordion

Northside Trail

Okay

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's mostly an urban trail, with not too much nature.

Geese were allover the place and so was their poop.

Good round trip though.

Elkhart River Greenway Trail

Pretty Good

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

Bird poop is common throughout this trail, especially by American Park, to the point you might want to only walk that segment instead of riding a bike.

Pavement is mostly smooth, though American Park turns into loose stone for a stretch, and overall scenery is good for the trail.

Wilden Avenue Trail

Skip

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This one should be avoided, as with frequent road crossings and nothing to see, you are going to spend almost all of your time in a urban, neighborhood setting.

Chicago Lakefront Trail

Beautiful

May, 2025 by sjf0809

I was traveling through to Ohio and wanted to ride this trail. Due to traffic on a Saturday with a concert at Soldier Field, I arrived a couple later than I had hoped. So I had to push the speed to do the whole trail. I got done as it was getting dark. I would encourage others to allow more time to enjoy it. Not knowing this in advance, I parked near trail construction and where the following day's event parking was being set up, so it was congested. I found the main trail (lots of sidewalks/paths going everywhere) and headed north. A few miles north and I was at the end. Going south, I got goofed up by the detour signs and other trails. A "north" or "south" sign on the detour signs might have helped. Maybe just me. I finally got on the trail and went north. The write-up says it is 19 miles long and ends at South Shore Cultural Center; however, the mile post ends at 18 (with a zero on the other side of the post) was at 71st street. That was where the red line on TrailLink also ended. Both close to each other, but I wasn't sure why the difference in mileage. I didn't have time to explore more. I turned around there.
Even though I don't like city driving and it all looked hectic to me (thankful for GPS voice commands), I wouldn't mind doing it again in the summer when more venues would be open and take all day to ride it by going a slower pace and seeing the sights. And maybe with someone else who will do the driving!

Calumet Trail

They started paving last fall. From County line rd heading West there is about 2-3 miles paved to Lake Shore County rd.

Prairie Duneland Trail

its fine

April, 2025 by alexrauch84

Straight flat the mile markers are off by 1.5 miles. The pavement is not smooth enough to skate on with ease. But for biking its fine. 80% friendly people to people of color.

Great American Rail-Trail

Warden to Lind

April, 2025 by howmarplus3

Ok section, kind of dull. Agriculture & cows. Found a bit of shade by a grain elevator for lunch. Several washouts filled with tumbleweeds as you get closer to Lind.
