    Road cycling

    The Prairie Trail, spanning McHenry County, is a key component of the broader Grand Illinois Trail. Covering just over 26 miles, it starts at the Wisconsin border, weaving through northern farmlands and woodlands before reaching the suburban landscapes of southern Chicago. Along its path, the trail shifts from gravel to asphalt and passes through eight communities, including those overseen by the McHenry County Conservation District.
