Cycling
This stretch of the Des Plaines River Trail is perfect for beginner cyclists and families looking for a smooth, scenic ride. Towering trees provide shade in the summer, while autumn turns the path into a golden tunnel of leaves. In spring, fresh greenery and wildflowers make it feel like a hidden sanctuary. With a well-maintained, mostly flat trail, it’s an easy and enjoyable ride for all ages.
