Mountain Biking Polecat Creek Trail

***   Add a review
#38 of 128 mountain bike trails in Illinois
#4,099 in the world

This is a very simple trail looping through Hedge (Osage Orange) and Hickorys. It runs fast along the creek bank offers simple dodges through the trees. Don't plan for this to be the only trail you ride, rather add it among the trails available in the Lick Creek area. This and the East Lick Creek Trail are adjacent to a great paved bike lane planned to stretch between Chatham and Springfield.
