Nice recreational trail with lots of parks along the way. It's part asphalt part gravel. The gravel is manageable with road tires but not at high speeds.
3 short loops each abt 3 to 4 miles long. Short rolling hills. Adulta will be fine, children in training wheels or bike without gears moght be a challenge. Dam area have canoe rental.
Here a great R2T for those in SE Wisconsin! The Bugline Trail, just NW of Milwaukee. Oddly named, but a sweet trail. I started in Merton, rode to Menomonee Falls and back. 26 miles round trip, all paved. A great mix of woods, open areas, and some developed areas. There are several little towns along the trail (Merton, Sussex, Lannon, Menomonee Falls) where you can pick up snacks if needed.
As it passes thru Lannon, WI -- which provided the limestone that built much of Milwaukee -- you will see lots of quarry lakes, including one that is just shockingly blue!
If you are in the area, give it a try!
Awesome trail. I took my fat tire bike for a 40 mile bike ride. This is great for dogs too since there's the des plaines river. Plenty of shade
Went last weekend and enjoyed it. Tons of hills. One time I had to walk the bike up the hill. Other times had to drop 4-5 gears very quickly to get up the hill. Definitely want to go back in the fall.Beautiful view by the damn.
This magnificent water view is located at Captain Daniel Wright Woods Green Trail.
I take this path from old spring street in mount pleasant (pike river trail) through pets park to the Kenosha Racine trail. The paved paths through the fields from hwy 11- KR are beautiful! The paths that run parallel to Green Bay road is very nice. I love this whole trail!
Today was a beautiful day to go out and explore. I loved it that it was quiet and not too crowded, it was very relaxing to venture in such as tranquil place. We brought bikes and it was just perfect!
The north part of this trail from 137 to near the Wisconsin border is really nice thru Independence Grove thru some spectacular oak forest, scrub and savannah. Flooding has closed some underpasses at times but overall good trail when open, well marked, easy access and much fun. Lots of birds, small mammals, and the occasional snake. Nice but preserves along the way. Good to get out and enjoy!
I have lived in Elmhurst a majority of my life, and I love this path so so much! I recommend it to all my friends.
I've ridden the trail in Lake County a number of times and it's great. This stretch though is pretty rough. Lots of loose gravel, ruts and no markings. I won't go back. Start at the Lincolnshire Marriott and head north and you'll have a great trip.
