Great biking experience!

Very nice beach with cool view on Lake shore drive…

From this grassy spot you get a lovely view of Skokie Lagoon No. 3. This lagoon is part of the Skokie Lagoons nature preserve, located in Glencoe and Winnetka, Illinois. This lagoon is one of seven interconnected lagoons spanning 190 acres, managed by the Forest Preserve District of Cook County. The lagoons were created by the Civilian Conservation Corps between 1933 and 1940, transforming a marshy area into the artificial lagoons seen today. On hot days you might see folks fishing, and kayaking. This is a great spot to rest and relax before continuing on your ride.

This lake is a key feature of the Salt Creek Water Trails, offering opportunities to explore the area by rowboat, canoe, or kayak, all of which can be rented nearby. Even if you choose to stay on land, the views from here are awesome.

Hyde Park offers more than just scenic beauty. Explore the neighborhood's vibrant culture, historic landmarks, and lush parks. On clear days, this spot offers breathtaking views of the iconic Chicago skyline, adding a touch of urban charm to Hyde Park's allure.
