    Tips

    Cycling

    The Des Plaines River flows southwards from Wisconsin and down through Illinois. It makes for an excellent cycling companion thanks to the trails that wind alongside it. This bridge spans the river in the Captain Daniel Wright Woods Preserve, east of Vernon Hills.

    Running

    This bridge crosses the Des Plaines River, which flows through Wisconsin and Illinois. This part of the Des Plaines River Trail is used to connect the two nearby nature centers and their miles of trails. You get a pretty good view from the middle of the bridge, too.

    A footbridge over the Des Plaines River connects Half Day to Wright Woods Forest Preserve, providing scenic outdoor recreation. Both preserves feature the Des Plaines River Trail, perfect for hiking, biking, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing on its gravel base.
