Seven Waters Bike Trail

Vietnam Base Camp

August, 2026 by kriekkoff_tl

The route has a mix of crushed gravel at both ends and a nice wide asphalt trail in the middle. Be careful going through Saller Woods in the village of Rochester. The trail has been scarred by runoff, the gravel is loose and the hills are steep. Like a child clutching tightly to it's mother, the trail hugs Highway 36 for much of the ride. Although most of the trail is concealed by trees and brush, the sound of cars could still be heard. The trail in Burlington ends at a very nice park that has bathroom facility, water fountain and picnic tables under cover for a nice place to have lunch. The best part of the trail was "The Bunker." This bar & grill has a unique military-theme inside and outside its walls including a Vietnam Guard Tower and other military equipment.

North Branch Trail

Nice but a bit stressful

August, 2026 by tandemlovers

We rode the full length from the Chicago Botanic Garden to the end at Foster Ave. and back. About 40 miles round trip.
Nice paved trail with plenty of washrooms along the way. Saw 8 deer at various points, two just standing on the side of the trail as we passed and never moved at all.
There is a $12 fee to park at the Botanic Garden, which was no big deal to us. There are plenty of free parking areas at the many forest preserves along the trail. Botanic Garden is great also, if you have the time to go through it.
The trail makes a loop around the Skokie Lagoons, but I would recommend only doing the east side. It has way better scenery and is quiet. Not so on the west side.
I took a star off for the following:
1. There are a lot of big road crossings. Golf road, Dempster, Touhy, and a really nasty diagonal one at Devon & Caldwell. All the walk buttons worked fine and you need to be patient, but they are wide and rather intimidating. The diagonal bridge over Oakton and US-14 is quite impressive though.
2. This is a greenway, so lots and lots of blind curves. This would not normally be an issue, but the road bikers are going too fast around them and there are a lot of pedestrians.
3. Other people have commented about the rude road bikers and we did encounter a couple of them. Most are courteous and tell you when they are coming by, but we had three at road crossings that pushed their way through and cut people off like they were going to a fire.

Over all, a nice trail and a great getaway for people living in the suburbs, but you've got to pay attention so it's not as nice as many sleepy rail-trails.

Root River Pathway

Challenging and adventurous

August, 2026 by kriekkoff_tl

The route was part road and part asphalt trail with a short section of crushed stone to keep it interesting. The asphalt trail surface was in better condition than some sections of the road. The signage, which could have been better, tested my navigational chops. In the end, though, I enjoyed the adventure. The route takes you right into downtown Racine. Beware the sidewalk section along 12th street. The center gap between concrete sections is wide enough to trap a smaller tire and bring the cyclist to an abrupt stop.

Long Prairie Trail

fun w/e-mountain bike

August, 2026 by km7phbf4j8

i’ve done this trail but it’s probably been 1214 years ago. Decided to take my E mountain bike and I’m sure glad I did some of. It’s pretty rough with rocks but overall it was fun. Nice long ride.

White River State Trail

Flat and Peaceful

August, 2026 by kriekkoff_tl

I rode the trail from Rosewood to Elkhorn. Most of the trail was flat and peaceful. Some of the crushed stone was washed away between Lyons and Burlington. Most of the trail surface was solid, but there were a few soft pockets where the stone accumulated from the wash out. Getting from the east section to the west section was tricky with no signage, but I was able to navigate the route using my i-phone GPS. If you like a flat, peaceful ride, then this is the trail for you.

Powerline trail is great!

Crossing roads can be tricky but most drivers are willing to let you pass.

City of Franklin Hike and Bike Trail

Busy Traffic

August, 2026 by kriekkoff_tl

Although the meticulously maintained 8-foot wide asphalt trail is short, one must cross W Forest Home Avenue twice. The traffic was fast and constant. I was lucky enough to attract a courteous driver who stopped for me, so I could make it across safely. Not a good trail for the young ones. The rating of the trail would have been 5 stars, but the traffic crossings brought it down a notch.

Kinnickinnic River Trail

3-section trail

August, 2026 by kriekkoff_tl

This 8 foot-wide asphalt trail was beautiful when I first rode it several years ago. The 3 sections of trail are connected by roads. One must cross 2 busy roads to get to the middle section from the southern section and there is no signage to guide you. The southern section is also poorly maintained; the grass is not mowed on either side of the trail and the tree branches and bushes overhead make the 8 foot wide trail seem smaller. I still bike this trail quite often, because it is a safer and a more scenic route to travel from my house to downtown.

Beerline Trail

Short and Sweet

August, 2026 by kriekkoff_tl

This 8 foot-wide asphalt trail meanders through urban neighborhoods. Although the trail is broken up in a few sections by roads, there is plenty of unique artwork to see. My favorite ride in the city!
