Des Plaines River Trail

From Just North of the Border

May, 2022 by wayno311

I park at the trailhead just over the border on Russel Rd. I frequent this trail because it's only 10 min. from my home. I enjoy riding through marshland and near the river to see the diverse foliage and wildlife. This trail does undulate a bit so your legs and gears are gonna get a workout. (but not too bad) This trail gives me the opportunity to ride pretty much as long or short a distance I wish. Some of the crushed gravel does get soft in spots, but I do believe it from when it floods on certain occasions. The trail does provide a few restrooms along the way. i do recommend this trail to anyone. Thanks.

Hebron Trail

From Just North of the Border 5/23/2022

May, 2022 by wayno311

I parked at the trailhead off of Keystone and was happily surprised there were toilets available. I had driven nearly an hour from Kenosha. The trail West started with a slight gradient, but nothing steep. The trail enters into what I would call a corridor of trees almost giving me the feeling of a tunnel. Gorgeous ride on crushed gravel. About 3 miles in you come to the end, BUT, if you take the road south just over the tracks and a quick right, you can pick the trail back up to completion at around 5.7 miles. From red barns to an overlook of water, this trail was spot on! I rode back past the parking lot to get to the Prairie Trail. Get ready for a nice hill to climb! (WHEW!) It is a 1.5 mile ride east to the Prairie Trail from the parking lot. I was simply amazed how nice this little jem of a trail is down here in Hebron. Thanks!

Wauponsee Glacial Trail

Horrible Stone Material

This use to be a great path to ride on with the crushed stone but the new rocks make it hard to ride a bike now.

Great Western Trail (IL)

Relatively uncrowded ride through agricultural scenery

May, 2022 by hilbertdr

We've ridden the Great Western trail from St. Charles to Sycamore and back a bunch of times. It became one of our favorite rides during the pandemic because it is much less crowded than the trails in the more densely populated parts of the Chicago area. It's pretty straight and reasonably flat. There are a reasonable number of trail users near the St. Charles trail head but the trail is never crowded and the Sycamore end of the trail is pretty deserted. The scenery is more agricultural than wild but it's nice nevertheless. The trail surface is a mix of asphalt and gravel and is in pretty good shape. If you follow the trail towards Sycamore from the Great Western trailhead there is a park with tables, benches and a restroom which is where we usually take a break before returning to St. Charles.

Old Chain of Rocks Bridge

closed to the public

May, 2022 by j5shmgcby9

We tried to walk on the bridge and the gate was locked with no sign posted notifying of a reason for the closure.

Kankakee River Trail

So happy to have this nearby. Lots of things to enjoy along this trail when you're in the main part of the park.

Prairie Trail (IL)

Great on a road bike (on a dry day)

May, 2022 by chsty29d9b

I recently rode the Prairie Trail as part of a ride from Geneva, IL to Lake Geneva, WI. It is a beautiful trail and definitely rideable on a road bike if the path is dry (I had 28mm tires). It’s crushed limestone for ~8 miles from Ringwood, IL to Genoa City, WI — exactly like the Illinois Prairie Path or Great Western Trail. Like the description says- only the northernmost 1/4 mile between the Hebron Trail and Genoa City is chunkier gravel.

Thanks everyone for your previous reviews!

Fermilab Trail

Open again!

May, 2022 by kpbo24

Great path. Some of the roads within Fermilab that used to be accessible are now off limits, so stay on the trail!

Long Prairie Trail

Very rough on the bike. There are more bumps than smooth asphalt. Not a smooth ride. Would be nice if they fixed it. I wouldn't ride this again.

Stone Bridge Trail

Rode on it this past weekend. There were tire tracks on the trail which caused my entire bike to shake. I would recommend a mountain bike on this trail.
