wet after rain, buggy when too dry, mostly idylic though bumpy. Recommend at least 35mm tires

The Des Plaines River Trail runs through this surprisingly lush forest preserve. There's usually a porta pottie here from roughly May through October.

good rest area

This is one of the many forest preserves along the Des Plaines River Trail. There are picnic tables, bathrooms and parking for trail access here. You can enjoy some great views of the river from here as well.

This is my daily route. Not faraway from my home. Just a bit over 4 miles back and forth. Good training for your legs especially passing railway bridge.

1 mile mark from the "start" of this section of the trail. It opens up to a big open section that has park benches protected by a roof. The Parks department does a great job managing the natural space and balancing that with the recreational interests of visitors. There are lots of foot trails off the main paved path to explore. Unfortunately litter is often found on those paths.

This stretch of the Des Plaines River Trail at Camp Pine Woods Forest Preserve brings cyclists along a wide gravel path through a mix of oak-hickory woodlands and maple forests, set near the river. Surrounded by natural areas like sedge meadows and savannas, it’s a quiet spot with historical ties to a former WWII POW camp.
