A nice 2.7 mile loop that's easy to navigate with moderate elevation. It's a gravel trail and they filled in some spots so it's a little loose in spots but no biggie.
This trail joins up with the Palos trail system so there are plenty of places to go from this one.
Thank |A fun trail with plenty of miles for a good work-out. It has a few interesting technical root sections and tight turns that are fun to carry with speed. Overall it's an easy trail that had a better than expected flow and feel given its location in Chicago suberbia. The biggest negative is the two way way traffic on a busy trail that lead to numerous stressful blind corners and forced a slower pace.
Thank |A little tacky, and muddy in a few spots. But overall a nice and easy ride.
Thank |This is part of the palos mountain bike trail system.
