A long and lovely journey from Chicago to the Illinois/Wisconsin border
The Des Plaines River Trail is a scenic multi-use trail located in northeastern Illinois, running from Chicago to the Wisconsin border. It follows the Des Plaines River, and covers approximately 56 miles. The trail’s surface is mostly composed of crushed limestone, providing a natural yet stable path, though some sections are paved or consist of dirt paths.
There are multiple access points with parking available at various forest preserves and trailheads, and certain sections feature amenities like restrooms and picnic areas. The trail is home to a rich array of wildlife, both flora and fauna. Written by Charlie Boscoe
