North Shore Channel Trail

Could easily be improved; will it happen?

July, 2025 by n9jhh4vwpk

The pavement of the Chicago section between Foster north to Lincoln is in very rough shape, and has only deteriorated since I started using the trail regularly last September (2024). Another priority could/should be the addition of some bridge overpasses (more underpasses are probably not feasible) so that trail users could avoid having to cross several busy (and only getting busier) intersections from Devon all the way up and into Evanston. It has some really enjoyable sections, though, and some stretches in Lincolnwood/Skokie have been recently repaved.

lovely trail

July, 2025 by td9rph2gsw

I’ve been walking and cycling this trail for most of my life and it’s always a wonderful experience, such beautiful scenery along the river. It’s by far my favorite trail in the Chicagoland area.

Busse Woods Trail

Good and not so good

June, 2025 by ricter87

Rode the Busse Forest trail on a busy, sunny Saturday morning in late June 2025. The surroundings are terrific but the asphalt has many cracks that made the ride a bit bumpy. Still it is a great ride and I encourage everyone to try it. There are elks there although I didn’t see any.

Des Plaines River Trail

very confusing

June, 2025 by mrjocasio

I did this trail on bike 2 years ago and I hated it, signage is terrible, at one point after Golf road, you literally come to an end and have to carry your bike over train tracks and active train tracks. No signs of any sort. You go through a campground that confuses you even more. I won’t do it again. To ridiculous.

North Shore Channel Trail

not the best

June, 2025 by mrjocasio

Like other reviews, I agree too many red lights that take forever to change, the smell of the garbage plant near by stinks, it’s an ok trail to walk but bike ride, no. You’ll be done in 20 minutes. From Devon to Greenbay road. I give it 2 stars for riding 4 for walking.

electric assist needed

May, 2025 by danwarwick

Started in McHenry and went south. Did 33 miles round trip. McHenry to Crystal Lake lots of ruts and bumpy. Just north of Crystal Lake becomes a new, very smooth trail, but is extremely hilly with lots of turns. After going through a small section of downtown Crystal Lake becomes not as hilly to Algonquin.

White River State Trail (Route of the Badger)

Great Trail

May, 2025 by johnryan041985

Can confirm that many lazy and inconsiderate dog owners leave their dog's poops right on the trail, so keep an eye out for landmnes. Also beware that many people do not have their dogs on leashes, so have protection on you and stay vigilant. Beautiful farmland scenery starting from the Vandenboom trailhead heading west. Very flat, and occasional holes in trail possibly from critters. Nice that each road you reach from the trailhead is just about 1 mile so it's easy to gauge the distance you've walked.

Prairie Trail (IL)

Navigation thru Crystal Lake an climbs in Sterne's Woods

April, 2025 by tabuffa

Late April Sunday in clear weather. Started at southern end as marked on Traillink map. There is no dedicated parking but on-street parking in surrounding residential neighborhood was without issues. Rode north to McHenry, 16 miles. Surface is newly or recently repaved and excellent, until you reach Pleasant Hill Road, then only fair, with expansion cracks every 50 60 feet, bumpy ride into McHenry but very doable. Generally pleasant, only partially shaded ride, but not the most picturesque.
2 issues around Crystal Lake, first, signage for on-road traverse of the town is inadequate in both directions. Going north, 2 blocks after crossing the railroad tracks, you have to jog East from Main Street 3 blocks to Glen Ave., then cross IL 176 onto Lorraine Dr. to reach the continuation of the trail into Sterne's Woods. Visa versa coming south. Second, be aware there are several short but steep climbs and descents going through Sterne's Woods. Seamless continuation onto Fox River trail at southern end.

Ridgefield Trace

Mainly a commuter trail

April, 2025 by denzeltest2

Parked at the West end in the WalMart parking lot. Entire trail is paved and is mostly flat with some gentle inclines. The first 4.5 miles is along Northwest Hwy (rte 14). This entire section is full of litter either in the grass between the road and path or along the farm fields. SO much garbage. The path turns towards Veteran's park in Crystal Lake just past MCC. The last 2.5 miles is along the high voltage lines that you can hear buzzing. Great path if you are commuting to and from MCC but not a pleasant path for an afternoon ride.
