The path is well-signposted with markers every half-mile, and convenient restrooms and refreshment stops are located along the way.\n\nThis route is a fantastic way to explore Chicago's blend of natural beauty and architectural grandeur.

primarily a paved, flat path stretching along Lake Michigan. While mostly smooth, you might encounter slight inclines in some sections. It's designed for easy cycling, making it suitable for all skill levels."},{"question":"How long does it typically take to cycle the entire route?","answer":"The full route is about 18.5 miles (29.8 km) one way. For a touring cyclist, completing the entire out-and-back journey, which is approximately 42 km, takes around 2 hours and 20 minutes, depending on your pace and stops."},{"question":"Where can I park or access the trail using public transport?","answer":"The trail has numerous entry points throughout the city, often connected by underpasses and pedestrian bridges. Parking is available at various points along the lakefront, and public transportation options like buses and trains provide easy access to many sections. Bike rentals, including Divvy bikes, are also readily available along the route."},{"question":"Are there any permits or entrance fees required to use the trail?","answer":"No, there are no permits or entrance fees required to access or cycle on the Lakefront Trail. It is a public recreational path."},{"question":"What are the best times to cycle the Lakefront Trail for a quieter experience?","answer":"The trail can get very busy, especially on summer weekends. For a more peaceful ride, it's best to go in the early morning or during the shoulder seasons (spring and fall) when there are fewer users."},{"question":"What can I see along the route?","answer":"The trail offers continuous views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline.

A significant improvement in 2018 separated bike and pedestrian paths in many areas, enhancing safety. However, be aware that some sections, particularly around Oak Street Beach, still have less separation, so cyclists should remain alert."},{"question":"Does the trail intersect other well-known paths?","answer":"Yes, the route also passes through sections of the Lakefront Trail, 37 (Illinois), OBT-10, and the Grand Illinois Trail - McHenry to Chicago, among others."},{"question":"Are dogs allowed on the Lakefront Trail?","answer":"While the trail is a popular spot for many, specific rules regarding dogs (leash requirements, designated areas) can vary by park district regulations. It's always best to check local Chicago Park District guidelines for the most current information on dog-friendly policies."},{"question":"What should I know about safety and congestion on the trail?","answer":"The trail is very popular and can be crowded, especially on summer weekends. While many sections have separate paths for bikes and pedestrians, some areas, like around Oak Street Beach, still have shared spaces.

You'll ride a paved path, enjoying continuous views of Lake Michigan on one side and the city's dynamic skyline on the other. The scenery shifts as you pass through major lakefront parks like Lincoln Park and Grant Park, providing a blend of serene natural beauty and bustling urban backdrops. This moderate route covers 26.3 miles (42.3 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 221 feet (67 metres), typically taking about 2 hours and 23 minutes to complete.\n\nTo make the most of your visit, consider riding in the early morning or during shoulder seasons if you prefer a quieter experience, as the trail can be very busy, especially on summer weekends. Bike rentals, including Divvy bikes, are readily available along the route, and you'll find numerous entry points connecting to the city via underpasses and pedestrian bridges.

You'll ride a paved path, enjoying continuous views of Lake Michigan on one side and the city's dynamic skyline on the other. The scenery shifts as you pass through major lakefront parks like Lincoln Park and Grant Park, providing a blend of serene natural beauty and bustling urban backdrops. This moderate route covers 26.3 miles (42.3 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 221 feet (67 metres), typically taking about 2 hours and 23 minutes to complete.\n\nTo make the most of your visit, consider riding in the early morning or during shoulder seasons if you prefer a quieter experience, as the trail can be very busy, especially on summer weekends. Bike rentals, including Divvy bikes, are readily available along the route, and you'll find numerous entry points connecting to the city via underpasses and pedestrian bridges. The path is well-signposted with markers every half-mile, and convenient restrooms and refreshment stops are located along the way.\n\nThis route is a fantastic way to explore Chicago's blend of natural beauty and architectural grandeur.

trail?","answer":"While the route combines the iconic Chicago Lakefront Trail with the beginning segments of historic Route 66, it is not a formally designated single loop trail.

the North Branch Trail, a moderate route stretching 23.8 miles (38.2 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 125 feet (38 metres).

The trail winds through the scenic Forest Preserves of Cook County, offering a diverse landscape of open fields, lagoons, and glimpses of the Chicago River, making for a refreshing escape.\n\nPlanning your visit is straightforward, as the trail offers convenient access points with parking lots, bathrooms, and picnic areas spaced along its length. While you can cycle directly into the Chicago Botanic Garden without a parking fee, be aware that car parking there usually comes with a charge. Most road crossings are managed by traffic signals or bridges, ensuring a largely uninterrupted experience, but always exercise caution at busier intersections like Golf and Harms.\n\nA highlight of this route is the opportunity to explore the 4.4-mile loop around Skokie Lagoons, a beautiful natural area. The trail also provides free bike access to the Chicago Botanic Garden, allowing you to discover its varied landscapes and perhaps even spot local wildlife like deer.

Branch Trail"}},"potential_route_update":true,"visitors":123,"rating_count":37,"rating_score":4.891892,"faq":[{"question":"Where are the main access points and parking for the North Branch Trail?","answer":"The North Branch Trail has numerous parking lots along its route within the Cook County Forest Preserves. These access points are generally well-distributed, making it convenient to start your ride at various locations. Many of these also offer restrooms and picnic areas."},{"question":"Is the North Branch Trail dog-friendly?","answer":"Yes, dogs are generally allowed on the North Branch Trail. However, they must be kept on a leash and under control at all times, and owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets. Always check local Forest Preserves of Cook County regulations for any specific rules."},{"question":"What is the best time of year to cycle the North Branch Trail?","answer":"The trail offers a pleasant experience year-round, with scenery changing beautifully with the seasons. Spring and fall provide comfortable temperatures and vibrant foliage. Summer is also popular, with much of the trail shaded by trees offering relief from the sun. Winter cycling is possible, but conditions may vary depending on snow and ice."},{"question":"Are there any permits or entrance fees required for the North Branch Trail or the Forest Preserves of Cook County?","answer":"No, there are no permits or entrance fees required to access the North Branch Trail itself or the general areas of the Forest Preserves of Cook County that it passes through. However, if you choose to visit the Chicago Botanic Garden, while bike access from the trail is free, parking for cars at the Botanic Garden typically incurs a fee."},{"question":"Can I access the Chicago Botanic Garden from the trail?","answer":"Yes, a significant feature of the North Branch Trail is its direct access to the Chicago Botanic Garden. Cyclists can enter the gardens for free from the trail, allowing you to explore its diverse landscapes and utilize amenities like the lunchroom. This is a great way to visit without paying the usual car parking fee."},{"question":"How long does it typically take to cycle the North Branch Trail?","answer":"The main route of the North Branch Trail is approximately 38 kilometers (23.7 miles) long. For a touring bicycle, the average duration is around 2 hours and 9 minutes, but this can vary based on your speed, stops, and whether you explore additional loops like the Skokie Lagoons."},{"question":"Is the trail suitable for beginners or families?","answer":"Yes, the North Branch Trail is generally considered easy and suitable for all skill levels, including families and inexperienced riders. It is predominantly flat with a smooth, paved surface, making it very accessible. There are occasional slight inclines over bridges, but nothing overly challenging."},{"question":"What is the terrain and surface like on the North Branch Trail?","answer":"The trail is predominantly paved with asphalt and is well-maintained, offering a smooth riding surface. While largely flat, there are occasional slight inclines and descents, especially when crossing over major roads or railway lines via bridges. An unpaved equestrian path parallels sections, offering a more rugged, hard-pack surface suitable for touring bikes with wider tires, though it can get muddy."},{"question":"What kind of scenery and wildlife can I expect along the route?","answer":"The trail winds through numerous Cook County Forest Preserves, offering long stretches of wooded and natural settings. You'll pass by the Chicago River, fields, lagoons, and golf courses. Notable scenic highlights include the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/5080672\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chicago Botanic Gardens</a> and the loop around Skokie Lagoons. Wildlife, particularly deer, are commonly sighted along the trail, and the scenery changes beautifully with the seasons."},{"question":"Does the North Branch Trail connect to other cycling paths?","answer":"Yes, the North Branch Trail serves as a crucial link in the regional trail network. At its northern end near the Botanic Garden, it connects to the Green Bay Trail and the Robert McClory Bike Path. It also connects to the Skokie Valley Trail. The route itself also passes through sections of the Illinois, Grand Illinois Trail - McHenry to Chicago, and OBT-8 trails."},{"question":"Are there facilities like restrooms or water along the trail?","answer":"Yes, the North Branch Trail is well-equipped with facilities. You will find parking lots, bathrooms, and picnic areas distributed along its length within the Cook County Forest Preserves. The Chicago Botanic Garden, accessible directly from the trail, also offers amenities including restrooms and a lunchroom."},{"question":"What should I be aware of regarding trail safety or specific challenges?","answer":"While generally easy, some road crossings, particularly at Golf and Harms or Touhy, require caution and patience due to traffic. There can also be blind curves, so it's advisable to slow down and be aware of other trail users. The western side of the Skokie Lagoons loop can be noisy due to its proximity to I-94."}],"is_nearby_result":false,"_links":{"self":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/discover_tours/e1396774600"},"seo_regions":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/discover_tours/e1396774600/seo_regions/"},"gallery":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/discover_tours/e1396774600/gallery/?filter=all&shuffle=false&shuffle_highlight_images=false"}}},"id":"e1396774600","status":"public","name":"North Branch Trail","nameTranslationMetadata":{"originalText":"Botanic Gardens loop — Chicago","isAutomated":false,"language":"en"},"source":"{\"api\":\"de.komoot.main-api/editorial-tour\",\"type\":\"editorial_tour\",\"id\":1396774600,\"version\":null}","kcalActive":0,"kcalResting":0,"startPoint":{"lat":42.039718,"lng":-87.796738,"alt":191},"distance":38228.275140500635,"duration":7712,"elevationUp":38.12648718800884,"elevationDown":38.12648718800884,"sport":"touringbicycle","constitution":3,"summary":{"surfaces":[{"type":"sf#unknown","amount":0.015919413},{"type":"sb#paved","amount":0.04938261},{"type":"sb#asphalt","amount":0.934698}],"wayTypes":[{"type":"wt#service","amount":0.004910935},{"type":"wt#minor_road","amount":0.04630852},{"type":"wt#cycleway","amount":0.94878054}]},"difficulty":{"explanationTechnical":"db#t1","explanationFitness":"d#c2","grade":"moderate"},"tourInformation":[],"segments":[{"type":"Routed","from":0,"to":462},{"type":"Routed","from":462,"to":530},{"type":"Routed","from":530,"to":587},{"type":"Routed","from":760,"to":805},{"type":"Routed","from":805,"to":1055}],"path":[{"location":{"lat":42.039718,"lng":-87.796738},"index":0,"reference":"poi:167NE5","referenceKey":"poi"},{"location":{"lat":42.132586,"lng":-87.778852},"index":462,"reference":"hlp:961177","referenceKey":"hlp"},{"location":{"lat":42.148197,"lng":-87.785087},"index":530,"reference":"hlp:5184285","referenceKey":"hlp"},{"location":{"lat":42.115669,"lng":-87.776655},"index":587,"endIndex":760,"reference":"hls:4785794","segmentType":"Routed","referenceKey":"hls"},{"location":{"lat":42.087886,"lng":-87.76869},"index":805},{"location":{"lat":42.039718,"lng":-87.796738},"index":1055,"reference":"special:back","referenceKey":"special"}],"shareUrl":"https://www.komoot.com/smarttour/e1396774600/north-branch-trail","smartTourType":"EDITORIAL_TOUR","mapImage":{"src":"https://tourpic-vector.maps.komoot.net/r/big/yatX%7Cwqt@Ik@%7D@%3F%3FaBl@U%3Fs@iAQ%7D@kBE%7D@yAIQ%7DAJaBs@BEdA%5DN_A%3FMVc@a@oA%60@%7BBI%7BAbBoBT%5B_A_AaAFeBs@kCsEPq@jBqB@KpCuBlAIcEq@A%7B@tAqBRmCnD_AKa@%7CAsD@rDAVcARxAx@e@rBBZqB%7CBRbAi@Ts@H%60@rBiALqCrBEp@kBrEQr@jCGdB~@%60AZ~@nBUzAcBzBHnAa@b@%60@LW~@%3F%5CODeAr@CK%60BP%7CAxAHD%7C@%7C@jBhAP%3Fr@m@T%3F%60B%7C@%3FHj@/","templated":false,"type":"image/*","attribution":"Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors","service":"vector_map"},"mapImagePreview":{"src":"https://tourpic-vector.maps.komoot.net/r/small/yatX%7Cwqt@Ik@%7D@%3F%3FaBl@U%3Fs@iAQ%7D@kBE%7D@yAIQ%7DAJaBs@BEdA%5DN_A%3FMVc@a@oA%60@%7BBI%7BAbBoBT%5B_A_AaAFeBs@kCsEPq@jBqB@KpCuBlAIcEq@A%7B@tAqBRmCnD_AKa@%7CAsD@rDAVcARxAx@e@rBBZqB%7CBRbAi@Ts@H%60@rBiALqCrBEp@kBrEQr@jCGdB~@%60AZ~@nBUzAcBzBHnAa@b@%60@LW~@%3F%5CODeAr@CK%60BP%7CAxAHD%7C@%7C@jBhAP%3Fr@m@T%3F%60B%7C@%3FHj@/","templated":false,"type":"image/*","attribution":"Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors","service":"vector_map"},"vectorMapImage":{"src":"https://tourpic-vector.maps.komoot.net/r/big/yatX%7Cwqt@Ik@%7D@%3F%3FaBl@U%3Fs@iAQ%7D@kBE%7D@yAIQ%7DAJaBs@BEdA%5DN_A%3FMVc@a@oA%60@%7BBI%7BAbBoBT%5B_A_AaAFeBs@kCsEPq@jBqB@KpCuBlAIcEq@A%7B@tAqBRmCnD_AKa@%7CAsD@rDAVcARxAx@e@rBBZqB%7CBRbAi@Ts@H%60@rBiALqCrBEp@kBrEQr@jCGdB~@%60AZ~@nBUzAcBzBHnAa@b@%60@LW~@%3F%5CODeAr@CK%60BP%7CAxAHD%7C@%7C@jBhAP%3Fr@m@T%3F%60B%7C@%3FHj@/","templated":false,"type":"image/*","attribution":"Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors"},"vectorMapImagePreview":{"src":"https://tourpic-vector.maps.komoot.net/r/small/yatX%7Cwqt@Ik@%7D@%3F%3FaBl@U%3Fs@iAQ%7D@kBE%7D@yAIQ%7DAJaBs@BEdA%5DN_A%3FMVc@a@oA%60@%7BBI%7BAbBoBT%5B_A_AaAFeBs@kCsEPq@jBqB@KpCuBlAIcEq@A%7B@tAqBRmCnD_AKa@%7CAsD@rDAVcARxAx@e@rBBZqB%7CBRbAi@Ts@H%60@rBiALqCrBEp@kBrEQr@jCGdB~@%60AZ~@nBUzAcBzBHnAa@b@%60@LW~@%3F%5CODeAr@CK%60BP%7CAxAHD%7C@%7C@jBhAP%3Fr@m@T%3F%60B%7C@%3FHj@/","templated":false,"type":"image/*","attribution":"Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors"},"date":"2023-12-22T16:15:29.088Z","changedAt":"2026-04-23T14:15:11.858Z","potentialRouteUpdate":true,"visitors":123,"ratingCount":37,"ratingScore":4.891892,"faq":[{"question":"Where are the main access points and parking for the North Branch Trail?","answer":"The North Branch Trail has numerous parking lots along its route within the Cook County Forest Preserves.

Plaines River Trail"}},"potential_route_update":true,"visitors":29,"rating_count":4,"rating_score":4.75,"faq":[{"question":"What is the terrain like on the Des Plaines River Trail?","answer":"The trail offers a diverse range of surfaces. The northern 20 miles in Lake County are generally well-maintained with a limestone or crushed stone surface. As you move south into Cook County, the trail becomes more rugged, featuring dirt, rocks, and abundant roots, sometimes narrowing into single-track. Sections can be very rough and challenging."},{"question":"When is the best time of year to cycle the Des Plaines River Trail?","answer":"The trail is particularly beautiful in the fall when the leaves change colors. Spring and summer are also popular, but be aware that sections can become muddy and prone to flooding after heavy rains, especially in the southern Cook County portions and underpasses. Winter allows for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in designated sections."},{"question":"Is the Des Plaines River Trail dog-friendly?","answer":"Yes, the trail is generally dog-friendly. However, dogs must be kept on a leash and under control at all times, and you are responsible for cleaning up after your pet. Always check specific forest preserve regulations for any additional rules."},{"question":"Are there any permits or fees required to use the trail?","answer":"No, there are no general permits or entrance fees required to access the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/5849174\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Des Plaines River Trail</a> itself. It runs through the Forest Preserves of Cook County and Lake County, which are publicly accessible. However, specific activities or events within the preserves might require permits, so it's always good to check with the respective forest preserve districts if you plan anything beyond a typical ride."},{"question":"Where can I park to access the Des Plaines River Trail?","answer":"Numerous parking lots are available throughout the interconnected forest preserves along the trail's entire length. You can find convenient access points in both Lake and Cook Counties, often near picnic areas and amenities."},{"question":"What kind of wildlife and scenery can I expect to see?","answer":"The trail meanders alongside the Des Plaines River, offering picturesque views through woodlands, prairies, savannas, and wetlands. You can expect to see a variety of wildlife, including deer, birds (such as blue herons and cranes), snakes, turtles, and beavers. The landscape transitions from wide valleys and open prairies in the north to narrower valleys and more woodlands in the south."},{"question":"Are there any sections of the trail prone to flooding?","answer":"Yes, flooding is a significant concern, particularly in underpasses and sections close to the river after heavy rains. These areas can become impassable, especially in the more rugged Cook County segments. It's advisable to check local conditions before heading out, especially after periods of heavy rainfall."},{"question":"What type of bicycle is best suited for this trail?","answer":"For the northern 20 miles in Lake County, a hybrid bike or one with 32mm tires or larger is generally suitable due to the crushed stone surface. However, for the southern Cook County sections, which are much rougher with dirt, rocks, and roots, a mountain bike is highly recommended, especially when conditions are wet."},{"question":"Does the Des Plaines River Trail connect to other paths?","answer":"Yes, the trail connects to several other regional paths, enhancing its utility for longer rides. It intersects with trails such as the North Branch Trail, Green Bay Trail, North Shore Bike Path, McClory Trail, and the Millennium Trail. The route also passes through sections of the Des Plaines River Trail, OBT-7, and the Des Plaines River Orange Trail (North)."},{"question":"Are there restrooms or water available along the trail?","answer":"Yes, throughout the interconnected forest preserves along the trail, you'll find frequent restrooms, picnic areas, and water fountains. These amenities are generally well-distributed, making it convenient for longer rides."},{"question":"Is the Des Plaines River Trail suitable for families?","answer":"The suitability for families depends on the section. The northern Lake County portions, with their well-maintained, flatter surfaces, are generally very suitable for family cycling. The southern Cook County sections, being more rugged and prone to mud, might be too challenging for younger children or less experienced family members."},{"question":"Are there any specific sections of the trail that are more challenging or rewarding?","answer":"The northern Lake County portion is generally easier and more accessible, offering pleasant, well-maintained paths. For a more adventurous and rugged experience, head to the Cook County sections.

The northern 20 miles in Lake County are generally well-maintained with a limestone or crushed stone surface. As you move south into Cook County, the trail becomes more rugged, featuring dirt, rocks, and abundant roots, sometimes narrowing into single-track. Sections can be very rough and challenging."},{"question":"When is the best time of year to cycle the Des Plaines River Trail?","answer":"The trail is particularly beautiful in the fall when the leaves change colors. Spring and summer are also popular, but be aware that sections can become muddy and prone to flooding after heavy rains, especially in the southern Cook County portions and underpasses. Winter allows for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in designated sections."},{"question":"Is the Des Plaines River Trail dog-friendly?","answer":"Yes, the trail is generally dog-friendly. However, dogs must be kept on a leash and under control at all times, and you are responsible for cleaning up after your pet. Always check specific forest preserve regulations for any additional rules."},{"question":"Are there any permits or fees required to use the trail?","answer":"No, there are no general permits or entrance fees required to access the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/5849174\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Des Plaines River Trail</a> itself. It runs through the Forest Preserves of Cook County and Lake County, which are publicly accessible. However, specific activities or events within the preserves might require permits, so it's always good to check with the respective forest preserve districts if you plan anything beyond a typical ride."},{"question":"Where can I park to access the Des Plaines River Trail?","answer":"Numerous parking lots are available throughout the interconnected forest preserves along the trail's entire length. You can find convenient access points in both Lake and Cook Counties, often near picnic areas and amenities."},{"question":"What kind of wildlife and scenery can I expect to see?","answer":"The trail meanders alongside the Des Plaines River, offering picturesque views through woodlands, prairies, savannas, and wetlands. You can expect to see a variety of wildlife, including deer, birds (such as blue herons and cranes), snakes, turtles, and beavers. The landscape transitions from wide valleys and open prairies in the north to narrower valleys and more woodlands in the south."},{"question":"Are there any sections of the trail prone to flooding?","answer":"Yes, flooding is a significant concern, particularly in underpasses and sections close to the river after heavy rains. These areas can become impassable, especially in the more rugged Cook County segments. It's advisable to check local conditions before heading out, especially after periods of heavy rainfall."},{"question":"What type of bicycle is best suited for this trail?","answer":"For the northern 20 miles in Lake County, a hybrid bike or one with 32mm tires or larger is generally suitable due to the crushed stone surface. However, for the southern Cook County sections, which are much rougher with dirt, rocks, and roots, a mountain bike is highly recommended, especially when conditions are wet."},{"question":"Does the Des Plaines River Trail connect to other paths?","answer":"Yes, the trail connects to several other regional paths, enhancing its utility for longer rides. It intersects with trails such as the North Branch Trail, Green Bay Trail, North Shore Bike Path, McClory Trail, and the Millennium Trail. The route also passes through sections of the Des Plaines River Trail, OBT-7, and the Des Plaines River Orange Trail (North)."},{"question":"Are there restrooms or water available along the trail?","answer":"Yes, throughout the interconnected forest preserves along the trail, you'll find frequent restrooms, picnic areas, and water fountains. These amenities are generally well-distributed, making it convenient for longer rides."},{"question":"Is the Des Plaines River Trail suitable for families?","answer":"The suitability for families depends on the section. The northern Lake County portions, with their well-maintained, flatter surfaces, are generally very suitable for family cycling. The southern Cook County sections, being more rugged and prone to mud, might be too challenging for younger children or less experienced family members."},{"question":"Are there any specific sections of the trail that are more challenging or rewarding?","answer":"The northern Lake County portion is generally easier and more accessible, offering pleasant, well-maintained paths. For a more adventurous and rugged experience, head to the Cook County sections. These southern segments are often described as an 'adventure' due to their natural surfaces, roots, and potential for mud, making them a rewarding challenge for experienced riders."}],"isNearbyResult":false,"roundtrip":true,"type":"editorial_tour","partnerDetails":{"allowDiscoverVisibility":false},"tourDescription":{"text":"Embark on a moderate touring bicycle adventure along the Des Plaines River Trail, a 17.2-mile (27.7 km) route that offers a refreshing escape into nature.

touring bicycle experience, covering 49.0 miles (78.9 km) with an elevation gain of 451 feet (138 metres).

As you cycle, you'll discover a natural oasis following the river, winding through diverse landscapes of woodlands, prairies, and wetlands. The scenery shifts from open savannas in the north to more densely wooded areas as you head south. Keep an eye out for serene lake views and wildlife, especially around spots like the Half Day Forest Preserve Ponds.\n\nPlanning your ride requires some preparation due to the varied terrain. While the northern sections are generally well-maintained, you might encounter rougher surfaces with dirt, rocks, and roots in southern Cook County. Be aware that parts of the trail, particularly underpasses, are prone to flooding after heavy rains, which can make them impassable. It is highly recommended to check current trail conditions for flooding before you set out. For the best experience on these mixed surfaces, a hybrid, gravel, or mountain bike is most suitable.\n\nThis trail provides a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural environment of the Lake County Forest Preserves and Forest Preserves of Cook County. It serves as a vital green corridor, showcasing the region's diverse ecosystems right alongside the river.

Plaines River Trail"}},"potential_route_update":true,"visitors":5,"rating_count":3,"rating_score":4,"faq":[{"question":"What is the terrain like on the Des Plaines River Trail?","answer":"The trail features a varied surface, including pavement, crushed stone, dirt, and even single-track forest sections. The northern 20 miles in Lake County are generally well-maintained crushed gravel. As you head south into Cook County, the surface can become rougher with more natural dirt, rocks, and roots, and is more prone to mud and flooding after heavy rains."},{"question":"When is the best time of year to cycle this trail?","answer":"The trail is particularly beautiful in the fall when the leaves change colors. Spring and summer are also popular, but be aware that sections, especially in the south, can flood after heavy rains. Always check conditions before you go, especially if planning a ride after significant rainfall."},{"question":"What type of bicycle is best suited for this route?","answer":"Given the varied and sometimes rough terrain, particularly in Cook County, a hybrid, gravel, or mountain bike is advisable. Road bikes are generally not recommended due to the unpaved and potentially muddy sections."},{"question":"What are some notable sights or highlights along the way?","answer":"The route offers diverse scenery, including woodlands, prairies, and wetlands. You'll pass through numerous forest preserves. Some specific highlights include <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/6415080\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dam Number 1 Woods</a>, <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3848468\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Half Day Forest Preserve Ponds</a>, and <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3722812\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MacArthur Woods Forest Preserve</a>. The landscape changes from wide valleys in the north to narrower, more wooded areas in the south."},{"question":"Does the trail connect to other paths?","answer":"Yes, the Des Plaines River Trail is a key link in a larger regional network. It connects with other trails like the North Branch Trail and Green Bay Trail. The route also passes through sections of the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3712109\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Middlefork Greenway</a> and the Everett Road Bike Path."},{"question":"Is the Des Plaines River Trail dog-friendly?","answer":"Yes, dogs are generally allowed on the Des Plaines River Trail and within the Lake County Forest Preserves and Forest Preserves of Cook County. They must be kept on a leash no longer than six feet and under control at all times. Please remember to clean up after your pet."},{"question":"Are there any permits or entrance fees required for the forest preserves along the trail?","answer":"No, there are typically no entrance fees or permits required for general use of the Des Plaines River Trail or the forest preserves it passes through in Lake and Cook Counties. However, specific activities or events might require permits, so it's always good to check with the respective forest preserve districts if you have special plans."},{"question":"Where can I access and park for the trail?","answer":"The trail has numerous access points and parking lots along its 56-mile length, as it winds through various forest preserves. Popular access points include those within Independence Grove Forest Preserve and Van Patten Woods in Lake County, which often have ample parking and amenities. For specific parking locations, consult a detailed map of the Lake County Forest Preserves and Forest Preserves of Cook County."},{"question":"What kind of wildlife can I expect to see?","answer":"The preserved corridor along the river is a haven for wildlife. You can frequently spot deer, various bird species, snakes, and turtles. It's an excellent spot for birdwatching, especially in the more secluded wetland and woodland areas."},{"question":"Is this route suitable for family cycling?","answer":"The northern sections of the trail in Lake County, with their well-maintained crushed gravel surfaces and fewer road crossings, are generally more suitable for families and less experienced cyclists. The southern sections in Cook County can be more challenging due to rougher terrain and potential flooding, making them less ideal for young children or those on less robust bikes."},{"question":"Are there places to eat or find amenities near the trail?","answer":"Yes, the trail passes through or near several forest preserves that offer amenities. Independence Grove Forest Preserve, for example, provides lake views, boat rentals, and even a café. Many towns and communities are also accessible from the trail, offering various dining options and facilities, particularly in the northern suburbs of Chicago."},{"question":"What's an insider tip for cycling the entire Des Plaines River Trail?","answer":"If you plan to cycle the entire length, especially after heavy rains, consider starting your ride from the northern, Lake County sections. These parts are generally better maintained and less prone to severe flooding than the southern Cook County segments, which can become impassable. Always check current trail conditions before embarking on a full-length

like on the Des Plaines River Trail?","answer":"The trail features a varied surface, including pavement, crushed stone, dirt, and even single-track forest sections. The northern 20 miles in Lake County are generally well-maintained crushed gravel. As you head south into Cook County, the surface can become rougher with more natural dirt, rocks, and roots, and is more prone to mud and flooding after heavy rains."},{"question":"When is the best time of year to cycle this trail?","answer":"The trail is particularly beautiful in the fall when the leaves change colors. Spring and summer are also popular, but be aware that sections, especially in the south, can flood after heavy rains. Always check conditions before you go, especially if planning a ride after significant rainfall."},{"question":"What type of bicycle is best suited for this route?","answer":"Given the varied and sometimes rough terrain, particularly in Cook County, a hybrid, gravel, or mountain bike is advisable. Road bikes are generally not recommended due to the unpaved and potentially muddy sections."},{"question":"What are some notable sights or highlights along the way?","answer":"The route offers diverse scenery, including woodlands, prairies, and wetlands. You'll pass through numerous forest preserves. Some specific highlights include <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/6415080\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dam Number 1 Woods</a>, <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3848468\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Half Day Forest Preserve Ponds</a>, and <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3722812\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MacArthur Woods Forest Preserve</a>. The landscape changes from wide valleys in the north to narrower, more wooded areas in the south."},{"question":"Does the trail connect to other paths?","answer":"Yes, the Des Plaines River Trail is a key link in a larger regional network. It connects with other trails like the North Branch Trail and Green Bay Trail. The route also passes through sections of the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3712109\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Middlefork Greenway</a> and the Everett Road Bike Path."},{"question":"Is the Des Plaines River Trail dog-friendly?","answer":"Yes, dogs are generally allowed on the Des Plaines River Trail and within the Lake County Forest Preserves and Forest Preserves of Cook County. They must be kept on a leash no longer than six feet and under control at all times. Please remember to clean up after your pet."},{"question":"Are there any permits or entrance fees required for the forest preserves along the trail?","answer":"No, there are typically no entrance fees or permits required for general use of the Des Plaines River Trail or the forest preserves it passes through in Lake and Cook Counties. However, specific activities or events might require permits, so it's always good to check with the respective forest preserve districts if you have special plans."},{"question":"Where can I access and park for the trail?","answer":"The trail has numerous access points and parking lots along its 56-mile length, as it winds through various forest preserves. Popular access points include those within Independence Grove Forest Preserve and Van Patten Woods in Lake County, which often have ample parking and amenities. For specific parking locations, consult a detailed map of the Lake County Forest Preserves and Forest Preserves of Cook County."},{"question":"What kind of wildlife can I expect to see?","answer":"The preserved corridor along the river is a haven for wildlife. You can frequently spot deer, various bird species, snakes, and turtles. It's an excellent spot for birdwatching, especially in the more secluded wetland and woodland areas."},{"question":"Is this route suitable for family cycling?","answer":"The northern sections of the trail in Lake County, with their well-maintained crushed gravel surfaces and fewer road crossings, are generally more suitable for families and less experienced cyclists. The southern sections in Cook County can be more challenging due to rougher terrain and potential flooding, making them less ideal for young children or those on less robust bikes."},{"question":"Are there places to eat or find amenities near the trail?","answer":"Yes, the trail passes through or near several forest preserves that offer amenities. Independence Grove Forest Preserve, for example, provides lake views, boat rentals, and even a café. Many towns and communities are also accessible from the trail, offering various dining options and facilities, particularly in the northern suburbs of Chicago."},{"question":"What's an insider tip for cycling the entire Des Plaines River Trail?","answer":"If you plan to cycle the entire length, especially after heavy rains, consider starting your ride from the northern, Lake County sections. These parts are generally better maintained and less prone to severe flooding than the southern Cook County segments, which can become impassable. Always check current trail conditions before embarking on a full-length ride."}],"isNearbyResult":false,"roundtrip":true,"type":"editorial_tour","partnerDetails":{"allowDiscoverVisibility":false},"tourDescription":{"text":"The Des Plaines River Trail offers a challenging touring bicycle experience, covering 49.0 miles (78.9 km) with an elevation gain of 451 feet (138 metres).

As you pedal, you'll experience a natural escape, winding through diverse ecosystems of woodlands, prairies, and wetlands. Keep an eye out for local wildlife such as deer, hawks, and fox. You'll pass through tranquil spots like Dam Number 1 Woods, offering a serene backdrop to your ride.\n\nBefore you set out, be aware that sections of the Des Plaines River Trail, particularly in Cook County, feature varied surfaces that can be rough, muddy after rain, or have roots and uneven patches. Some underpasses along the route are prone to flooding, which might require you to take detours onto adjacent roads. For the best experience on this trail, a hybrid or gravel bike is strongly recommended over a pure road bike to handle the diverse terrain effectively.\n\nThis extensive loop offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature right outside the city, tracing the paths of both the Des Plaines River and the North Branch of the Chicago River. The trail is notable for its blend of natural beauty and accessibility, providing a significant outdoor experience within the region.

Plaines River Trail and North Branch Trail Loop"}},"potential_route_update":true,"visitors":4,"rating_count":0,"faq":[{"question":"How long does it typically take to cycle this loop?","answer":"This touring bicycle loop is approximately 78.3 kilometers (48.7 miles) long. Komoot estimates it takes around 5 hours and 6 minutes to complete, but your actual time may vary based on your pace, stops, and trail conditions."},{"question":"What is the terrain like on the Des Plaines River Trail and North Branch Trail Loop?","answer":"The terrain is generally flat to gently rolling. However, surfaces vary significantly. The North Branch Trail is mostly paved asphalt, offering a smooth ride. The Des Plaines River Trail, especially in Cook County, can be more varied, with crushed stone, paved sections, natural dirt, and even some rugged, uneven areas. The Lake County section of the DPRT is typically well-maintained crushed limestone."},{"question":"Is this loop suitable for beginners?","answer":"While both trails are largely flat, making them accessible, the full loop is rated as 'difficult' for touring cycling due to its length and varied surfaces. The unpaved and sometimes rugged sections of the Des Plaines River Trail in Cook County can be challenging, especially for road bikes or after rain. It's best suited for cyclists with good fitness and experience with mixed terrain."},{"question":"What kind of bike is best for this route?","answer":"For the full range of surfaces you'll encounter, a hybrid or gravel bike with wider tires is generally recommended. Pure road bikes might struggle on the rougher, unpaved sections of the Des Plaines River Trail, particularly after wet weather."},{"question":"What can I see along the route?","answer":"You'll experience diverse ecosystems, including woodlands, prairies, and wetlands. Highlights include the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/5316719\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">North Branch Red Paved Trail</a>, <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/961177\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">North Branch Black Paved Trail</a>, and the scenic <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/6298605\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Des Plaines River Trail</a>. You'll also pass through <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/6415080\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dam Number 1 Woods</a> and the Skokie Lagoons, with opportunities to see wildlife."},{"question":"What wildlife can I expect to see?","answer":"Both trails offer excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. Common sightings include deer, hawks, eagles, various waterfowl, cranes, and fox. The natural settings provide a great escape from the urban environment."},{"question":"What is the best time of year to cycle this loop?","answer":"The trails are enjoyable throughout the warmer months. Fall is particularly stunning when the leaves change color, offering vibrant scenery. Spring and early summer are also great for lush greenery and active wildlife. Be aware that some sections can be muddy after rain."},{"question":"Are there specific parking areas or trailheads for this loop?","answer":"Both the Des Plaines River Trail and the North Branch Trail have numerous access points with parking along their lengths. Since this is a combined loop, you can choose a convenient starting point that offers parking. Consult local forest preserve district maps for specific parking lot locations."},{"question":"Does the trail intersect with other paths?","answer":"Yes, this route connects with several other regional trail systems. Notable intersections include sections of the OBT-8, the Grand Illinois Trail - McHenry to Chicago, and the Green Bay Trail, allowing for even longer rides or alternative routes."},{"question":"Are dogs allowed on the Des Plaines River Trail and North Branch Trail Loop?","answer":"Information regarding specific dog policies for this combined loop is not provided in the available sources. It's advisable to check the official websites for the Lake County Forest Preserves (for DPRT) and the Forest Preserves of Cook County (for DPRT and NBT) for their most current pet regulations."},{"question":"Do I need a permit or is there an entrance fee to use these trails?","answer":"Based on the available information, there are no specific permits or entrance fees mentioned for cycling on the Des Plaines River Trail or the North Branch Trail. However, it's always a good idea to check the official websites of the respective forest preserve districts for any updates on regulations or fees."},{"question":"What should I be aware of regarding trail conditions?","answer":"Be prepared for varied conditions, especially on the Des Plaines River Trail.

it typically take to cycle this loop?","answer":"This touring bicycle loop is approximately 78.3 kilometers (48.7 miles) long. Komoot estimates it takes around 5 hours and 6 minutes to complete, but your actual time may vary based on your pace, stops, and trail conditions."},{"question":"What is the terrain like on the Des Plaines River Trail and North Branch Trail Loop?","answer":"The terrain is generally flat to gently rolling. However, surfaces vary significantly. The North Branch Trail is mostly paved asphalt, offering a smooth ride. The Des Plaines River Trail, especially in Cook County, can be more varied, with crushed stone, paved sections, natural dirt, and even some rugged, uneven areas. The Lake County section of the DPRT is typically well-maintained crushed limestone."},{"question":"Is this loop suitable for beginners?","answer":"While both trails are largely flat, making them accessible, the full loop is rated as 'difficult' for touring cycling due to its length and varied surfaces. The unpaved and sometimes rugged sections of the Des Plaines River Trail in Cook County can be challenging, especially for road bikes or after rain. It's best suited for cyclists with good fitness and experience with mixed terrain."},{"question":"What kind of bike is best for this route?","answer":"For the full range of surfaces you'll encounter, a hybrid or gravel bike with wider tires is generally recommended. Pure road bikes might struggle on the rougher, unpaved sections of the Des Plaines River Trail, particularly after wet weather."},{"question":"What can I see along the route?","answer":"You'll experience diverse ecosystems, including woodlands, prairies, and wetlands. Highlights include the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/5316719\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">North Branch Red Paved Trail</a>, <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/961177\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">North Branch Black Paved Trail</a>, and the scenic <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/6298605\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Des Plaines River Trail</a>. You'll also pass through <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/6415080\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dam Number 1 Woods</a> and the Skokie Lagoons, with opportunities to see wildlife."},{"question":"What wildlife can I expect to see?","answer":"Both trails offer excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. Common sightings include deer, hawks, eagles, various waterfowl, cranes, and fox. The natural settings provide a great escape from the urban environment."},{"question":"What is the best time of year to cycle this loop?","answer":"The trails are enjoyable throughout the warmer months. Fall is particularly stunning when the leaves change color, offering vibrant scenery. Spring and early summer are also great for lush greenery and active wildlife. Be aware that some sections can be muddy after rain."},{"question":"Are there specific parking areas or trailheads for this loop?","answer":"Both the Des Plaines River Trail and the North Branch Trail have numerous access points with parking along their lengths. Since this is a combined loop, you can choose a convenient starting point that offers parking. Consult local forest preserve district maps for specific parking lot locations."},{"question":"Does the trail intersect with other paths?","answer":"Yes, this route connects with several other regional trail systems. Notable intersections include sections of the OBT-8, the Grand Illinois Trail - McHenry to Chicago, and the Green Bay Trail, allowing for even longer rides or alternative routes."},{"question":"Are dogs allowed on the Des Plaines River Trail and North Branch Trail Loop?","answer":"Information regarding specific dog policies for this combined loop is not provided in the available sources. It's advisable to check the official websites for the Lake County Forest Preserves (for DPRT) and the Forest Preserves of Cook County (for DPRT and NBT) for their most current pet regulations."},{"question":"Do I need a permit or is there an entrance fee to use these trails?","answer":"Based on the available information, there are no specific permits or entrance fees mentioned for cycling on the Des Plaines River Trail or the North Branch Trail. However, it's always a good idea to check the official websites of the respective forest preserve districts for any updates on regulations or fees."},{"question":"What should I be aware of regarding trail conditions?","answer":"Be prepared for varied conditions, especially on the Des Plaines River Trail. Some underpasses can flood after heavy rain, potentially requiring detours onto adjacent roads. Always check for recent construction or closures, particularly in the Cook County DPRT sections, before you head out."}],"isNearbyResult":false,"roundtrip":true,"type":"editorial_tour","partnerDetails":{"allowDiscoverVisibility":false},"tourDescription":{"text":"Embark on a challenging touring cycling adventure along the Des Plaines River Trail and North Branch Trail Loop.

Line and North Shore Channel Trail Loop"}},"potential_route_update":true,"visitors":10,"rating_count":3,"rating_score":4,"faq":[{"question":"Where can I park to access the Valley Line and North Shore Channel Trail Loop?","answer":"While there isn't one designated parking lot for the entire loop, the Valley Line Trail (also known as the Sauganash Trail) offers convenient parking at Sauganash Park. For the North Shore Channel Trail, you can often find street parking in adjacent neighborhoods or at parks along its route, such as Ladd Arboretum."},{"question":"Is the Valley Line and North Shore Channel Trail Loop dog-friendly?","answer":"Yes, both the Valley Line Trail and the North Shore Channel Trail are generally dog-friendly. Please ensure your dog is kept on a leash at all times and that you clean up after them to maintain a pleasant experience for all users."},{"question":"What is the best time of year to cycle this loop?","answer":"Spring, summer, and fall are ideal for cycling this loop. The flat terrain makes it enjoyable in warmer months, and the changing foliage in autumn offers beautiful scenery. Winter cycling is possible, but conditions can vary with snow and ice, especially on less-maintained sections."},{"question":"Do I need any permits or pay entrance fees for this route?","answer":"No, there are no permits or entrance fees required to access or cycle the Valley Line and North Shore Channel Trail Loop. Both trails are public paths."},{"question":"Is this loop suitable for beginner cyclists?","answer":"Yes, this loop is largely considered easy and suitable for beginners. The overall difficulty is rated as 'easy' due to its mostly flat profile. However, be aware that the North Shore Channel Trail has numerous at-grade street crossings and some sections with rougher surfaces, which require attention."},{"question":"What kind of terrain can I expect on the trail?","answer":"The loop offers a mix of surfaces. The Valley Line Trail is primarily paved and very smooth, built on a former railway. The North Shore Channel Trail features asphalt and concrete, but also includes sections of crushed limestone or short dirt paths. Expect some potentially rough patches, cracks, and bumps, particularly in the Chicago sections of the North Shore Channel Trail."},{"question":"What are some notable sights along the way?","answer":"A major highlight is the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/223729\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Skokie Northshore Sculpture Park</a>, which displays over 60 large sculptures along the North Shore Channel Trail. You might also spot the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/5365574\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Directing Traffic Sculpture</a>. The route also passes through various parks and offers views of the North Shore Channel itself."},{"question":"Does this loop connect to other trails?","answer":"Yes, this loop is part of a larger interconnected network. The route itself utilizes sections of the North Shore Channel Trail and the Valley Line Trail. It also passes through parts of the Kedzie Avenue, Grand Illinois Trail - McHenry to Chicago, and North Branch Trail - Lakefront. The Valley Line Trail also connects to the Skokie Valley Trail via the Lincolnwood Valley Line Trail."},{"question":"How long does it typically take to complete the Valley Line and North Shore Channel Trail Loop?","answer":"The full loop is approximately 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) long. On average, it takes about 1 hour and 8 minutes to complete by touring bicycle, depending on your pace and how often you stop to enjoy the sights."},{"question":"Are there amenities like restrooms or cafes along the route?","answer":"While the trails themselves don't have dedicated facilities every few miles, you'll find restrooms available at Sauganash Park, which is directly accessible from the Valley Line Trail. Both trails pass through suburban areas like Evanston and Skokie, where you can find cafes, restaurants, and other amenities a short detour off the main path."},{"question":"Is the loop family-friendly?","answer":"Absolutely! The flat and mostly paved nature of the Valley Line Trail makes it excellent for families with children.

However, be aware that the North Shore Channel Trail has numerous at-grade street crossings and some sections with rougher surfaces, which require attention."},{"question":"What kind of terrain can I expect on the trail?","answer":"The loop offers a mix of surfaces. The Valley Line Trail is primarily paved and very smooth, built on a former railway. The North Shore Channel Trail features asphalt and concrete, but also includes sections of crushed limestone or short dirt paths. Expect some potentially rough patches, cracks, and bumps, particularly in the Chicago sections of the North Shore Channel Trail."},{"question":"What are some notable sights along the way?","answer":"A major highlight is the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/223729\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Skokie Northshore Sculpture Park</a>, which displays over 60 large sculptures along the North Shore Channel Trail.

On average, it takes about 1 hour and 8 minutes to complete by touring bicycle, depending on your pace and how often you stop to enjoy the sights."},{"question":"Are there amenities like restrooms or cafes along the route?","answer":"While the trails themselves don't have dedicated facilities every few miles, you'll find restrooms available at Sauganash Park, which is directly accessible from the Valley Line Trail. Both trails pass through suburban areas like Evanston and Skokie, where you can find cafes, restaurants, and other amenities a short detour off the main path."},{"question":"Is the loop family-friendly?","answer":"Absolutely! The flat and mostly paved nature of the Valley Line Trail makes it excellent for families with children. The North Shore Channel Trail is also generally family-friendly, though parents should be mindful of the numerous street crossings and occasional rougher patches, especially with younger riders."},{"question":"What's an insider tip for cycling this loop?","answer":"For a smoother, more continuous ride, consider starting your journey on the Valley Line Trail.

Plaines River Trail and Robert McClory Bike Path Loop"}},"potential_route_update":true,"visitors":4,"rating_count":1,"rating_score":5,"faq":[{"question":"What kind of bike is best suited for this loop?","answer":"Given the varied terrain, a hybrid, gravel, or mountain bike is ideal for this loop. The Des Plaines River Trail, especially in Cook County, features rougher surfaces like dirt, gravel, roots, and rocks, which can be challenging for road bikes. The Robert McClory Bike Path is generally smoother, with asphalt and crushed limestone, but a more robust bike will provide a comfortable experience throughout the entire route."},{"question":"What is the terrain like on the Des Plaines River Trail and Robert McClory Bike Path Loop?","answer":"The loop offers diverse terrain. The Des Plaines River Trail has a multi-surface composition including pavement, crushed stone, dirt, and gravel, with some rougher sections and potential for mud after rain. The Robert McClory Bike Path is primarily asphalt and finely screened limestone, generally flat and well-maintained. You'll experience a mix of natural riverine environments and converted rail-trail sections."},{"question":"Are there any notable landmarks or scenic spots along the way?","answer":"Yes, the route features several points of interest. You'll pass by <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/2608227\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Independence Grove Lake</a>, offering beautiful water views. Another highlight is the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3585614\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stone Bridge Over the River in Van Patten Woods Forest Preserve</a>. The <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3579010\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roger Mac Clory gravel path</a> section itself is a notable feature, and you'll also encounter the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3775130\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington Street Bike Path</a>."},{"question":"What is the best time of year to cycle this loop?","answer":"Spring and fall are generally the best times to cycle this loop, offering pleasant temperatures and beautiful scenery. During warmer months, be prepared for mosquitoes and ticks, especially on the Des Plaines River Trail. After heavy rains, parts of the Des Plaines River Trail, particularly in Cook County, can become very muddy or even impassable due to flooding, so checking trail conditions is advisable."},{"question":"Does the trail intersect with other well-known paths?","answer":"Yes, this route is part of a larger regional trail network. It utilizes significant portions of the Des Plaines River Trail and the Robert McClory Bike Path. You may also encounter sections of the 37 (Illinois), Grand Illinois Trail - McHenry to Chicago, and the North Shore Bike Path."},{"question":"Is the Des Plaines River Trail and Robert McClory Bike Path Loop dog-friendly?","answer":"Yes, dogs are generally allowed on both the Des Plaines River Trail and the Robert McClory Bike Path. However, they must be kept on a leash at all times, and you are responsible for cleaning up after your pet. Always check specific forest preserve regulations for any additional rules."},{"question":"Do I need any permits or pay entrance fees to access the Lake County Forest Preserves along this route?","answer":"Generally, there are no entrance fees for visitors to the Lake County Forest Preserves. However, certain activities or facilities might require a permit or fee. For specific details on permits for activities like fishing, boating, or special events, it's best to check the official Lake County Forest Preserves website at <a href=\"https://vertexaisearch.cloud.google.com/grounding-api-redirect/AUZIYQGG2dG5FTAUlXk5SkTYWABprx8-D4a3jIp8BkPRtSUFTKhdOv0AcPDiNmCKFPoEVUPZP6hyoxNSJSyGTxC0T6KEaY1znVxg4lJcTACu9rPVdGikEXcUfrh9YxT2RNalOexJqcxgvo0Kue3C33j15mVU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">visitlakecounty.org</a>."},{"question":"Where can I find parking and access points for the loop?","answer":"Both the Des Plaines River Trail and the Robert McClory Bike Path have numerous access points and parking lots along their lengths, especially in Lake County. You can find detailed maps and specific parking locations on the Lake County Forest Preserves website or by consulting a local trail map. Many forest preserves along the route offer designated parking areas."},{"question":"What kind of wildlife can I expect to see on the trail?","answer":"The Des Plaines River Trail, in particular, is a great place for wildlife viewing. You might spot deer, various bird species, snakes, and turtles. The trail meanders through woodlands, prairies, and wetlands, providing diverse habitats for these animals. Keep an eye out, especially during quieter times of the day."},{"question":"Is this loop suitable for beginner touring cyclists?","answer":"This loop is rated as difficult for touring cycling. While both trails are generally flat, the varying surfaces on the Des Plaines River Trail, especially in its southern sections, can be challenging. Rougher terrain, potential mud, and frequent road crossings require a good fitness level and bike handling skills. Beginners might prefer to tackle shorter, paved sections of the Robert McClory Bike Path first."},{"question":"Are there amenities like restrooms or water fountains available?","answer":"Yes, especially along the Lake County portion of the Des Plaines River Trail, you'll find amenities such as restrooms, picnic areas, and water fountains. The Robert McClory Bike Path also passes through many communities, offering opportunities to access services. However, it's always wise to carry enough water and snacks, especially for longer stretches."}],"is_nearby_result":false,"_links":{"self":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/discover_tours/e920298632"},"seo_regions":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/discover_tours/e920298632/seo_regions/"},"gallery":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/discover_tours/e920298632/gallery/?filter=all&shuffle=false&shuffle_highlight_images=false"}}},"id":"e920298632","status":"public","name":"Des

Crossing, and Millennium Trail Loop?","answer":"The loop offers a varied terrain, combining unpaved sections, compacted gravel, asphalt, and some paved portions. While northern segments of the Des Plaines River Trail are generally smoother crushed limestone, southern parts, especially in Cook County, can be rockier, unpaved, and prone to muddiness after heavy rains. The Millennium Trail and Prairie Crossing Bike Path also feature a mix of gravel and paved surfaces."},{"question":"What type of bike is best suited for this route?","answer":"Given the varied surfaces, including unpaved sections, gravel, and potential for muddy areas, a <strong>hybrid or gravel bike</strong> is highly recommended for a more comfortable and enjoyable ride. Road bikes might find some sections challenging, especially after rain."},{"question":"Where can I park to access the Des Plaines River, Prairie Crossing, and Millennium Trail Loop?","answer":"There are numerous access points and parking lots along the Des Plaines River Trail, making it easy to join the loop at various locations. Many forest preserves along the route offer parking facilities."},{"question":"What is the best time of year to cycle this loop?","answer":"The loop is beautiful year-round, but <strong>fall foliage</strong> is particularly vibrant and provides a stunning backdrop. Spring and summer also offer pleasant conditions, though some sections can become muddy after heavy rains. Consider checking local weather conditions before you go."},{"question":"Are there any permits or fees required to use the trails in Lake County?","answer":"Generally, there are no specific permits or entrance fees required to access the public trails within the Lake County Forest Preserves for cycling. However, it's always a good idea to check the official Lake County Forest Preserves website for any updated regulations or specific event requirements."},{"question":"Is this loop suitable for families or beginners?","answer":"The loop is rated as 'moderate' overall. While some sections are smooth and suitable for all skill levels, the varied surfaces and potential for muddy or rougher areas mean that beginners or families might prefer to stick to the smoother, crushed limestone sections, particularly in Lake County. A hybrid or gravel bike will enhance comfort for all riders."},{"question":"What can I see along the route?","answer":"The loop offers diverse and picturesque scenery. You'll pass through protected lands with lakes, prairies, wetlands, and forest preserves. Notable highlights include <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/2608227\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Independence Grove Lake</a>, sections of the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3775130\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington Street Bike Path</a>, and the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3755314\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rollins Savanna Millennium Trail</a>. The landscape changes frequently, providing a continuously interesting experience."},{"question":"What kind of wildlife might I see on the trail?","answer":"The trails form a significant natural oasis, providing habitat for diverse wildlife. Common sightings include deer, various bird species, turtles, and occasionally even beavers and herons. The extensive network of forest preserves along the Des Plaines River Trail is rich in biodiversity."},{"question":"Does this loop connect with other trails?","answer":"Yes, this loop is notable for effectively linking several significant regional trails. It utilizes sections of the Des Plaines River Trail, the Prairie Crossing Bike Path, and the Millennium Trail. It also intersects with parts of the Grand Illinois Trail - McHenry to Chicago, Gurnee Bike Path, and North Shore Bike Path, among others, creating a comprehensive route through Lake County's forest preserve system."},{"question":"Is this trail dog-friendly?","answer":"Many sections of the trails that make up this loop, particularly within the Lake County Forest Preserves, are dog-friendly. However, dogs must always be kept on a leash and owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets. Always check specific signage at trailheads for any local regulations."},{"question":"Are there amenities like restrooms or water along the way?","answer":"Yes, the extensive network of forest preserves along the Des Plaines River Trail provides additional recreational opportunities and amenities. You can often find restrooms, picnic areas, and water fountains at various points, especially near major access areas and forest preserve facilities."},{"question":"Are there any sections of the trail that can be challenging or require extra attention?","answer":"While much of the route is moderate, some underpasses for road crossings can be susceptible to flooding after heavy rains.

terrain like on the Des Plaines River, Prairie Crossing, and Millennium Trail Loop?","answer":"The loop offers a varied terrain, combining unpaved sections, compacted gravel, asphalt, and some paved portions. While northern segments of the Des Plaines River Trail are generally smoother crushed limestone, southern parts, especially in Cook County, can be rockier, unpaved, and prone to muddiness after heavy rains. The Millennium Trail and Prairie Crossing Bike Path also feature a mix of gravel and paved surfaces."},{"question":"What type of bike is best suited for this route?","answer":"Given the varied surfaces, including unpaved sections, gravel, and potential for muddy areas, a <strong>hybrid or gravel bike</strong> is highly recommended for a more comfortable and enjoyable ride. Road bikes might find some sections challenging, especially after rain."},{"question":"Where can I park to access the Des Plaines River, Prairie Crossing, and Millennium Trail Loop?","answer":"There are numerous access points and parking lots along the Des Plaines River Trail, making it easy to join the loop at various locations. Many forest preserves along the route offer parking facilities."},{"question":"What is the best time of year to cycle this loop?","answer":"The loop is beautiful year-round, but <strong>fall foliage</strong> is particularly vibrant and provides a stunning backdrop. Spring and summer also offer pleasant conditions, though some sections can become muddy after heavy rains. Consider checking local weather conditions before you go."},{"question":"Are there any permits or fees required to use the trails in Lake County?","answer":"Generally, there are no specific permits or entrance fees required to access the public trails within the Lake County Forest Preserves for cycling. However, it's always a good idea to check the official Lake County Forest Preserves website for any updated regulations or specific event requirements."},{"question":"Is this loop suitable for families or beginners?","answer":"The loop is rated as 'moderate' overall. While some sections are smooth and suitable for all skill levels, the varied surfaces and potential for muddy or rougher areas mean that beginners or families might prefer to stick to the smoother, crushed limestone sections, particularly in Lake County. A hybrid or gravel bike will enhance comfort for all riders."},{"question":"What can I see along the route?","answer":"The loop offers diverse and picturesque scenery. You'll pass through protected lands with lakes, prairies, wetlands, and forest preserves. Notable highlights include <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/2608227\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Independence Grove Lake</a>, sections of the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3775130\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington Street Bike Path</a>, and the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3755314\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rollins Savanna Millennium Trail</a>. The landscape changes frequently, providing a continuously interesting experience."},{"question":"What kind of wildlife might I see on the trail?","answer":"The trails form a significant natural oasis, providing habitat for diverse wildlife. Common sightings include deer, various bird species, turtles, and occasionally even beavers and herons. The extensive network of forest preserves along the Des Plaines River Trail is rich in biodiversity."},{"question":"Does this loop connect with other trails?","answer":"Yes, this loop is notable for effectively linking several significant regional trails. It utilizes sections of the Des Plaines River Trail, the Prairie Crossing Bike Path, and the Millennium Trail. It also intersects with parts of the Grand Illinois Trail - McHenry to Chicago, Gurnee Bike Path, and North Shore Bike Path, among others, creating a comprehensive route through Lake County's forest preserve system."},{"question":"Is this trail dog-friendly?","answer":"Many sections of the trails that make up this loop, particularly within the Lake County Forest Preserves, are dog-friendly. However, dogs must always be kept on a leash and owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets. Always check specific signage at trailheads for any local regulations."},{"question":"Are there amenities like restrooms or water along the way?","answer":"Yes, the extensive network of forest preserves along the Des Plaines River Trail provides additional recreational opportunities and amenities. You can often find restrooms, picnic areas, and water fountains at various points, especially near major access areas and forest preserve facilities."},{"question":"Are there any sections of the trail that can be challenging or require extra attention?","answer":"While much of the route is moderate, some underpasses for road crossings can be susceptible to flooding after heavy rains. Additionally, the southern parts of the Des Plaines River Trail, particularly in Cook County, can be rougher with more roots, rocks, branches, and dips, requiring extra attention and potentially a more robust bike."}],"isNearbyResult":false,"roundtrip":true,"type":"editorial_tour","partnerDetails":{"allowDiscoverVisibility":false},"tourDescription":{"text":"Cycle a moderate 32.2-mile loop

The path is well-signposted with markers every half-mile, and convenient restrooms and refreshment stops are located along the way.\n\nThis route is a fantastic way to explore Chicago's blend of natural beauty and architectural grandeur.

primarily a paved, flat path stretching along Lake Michigan. While mostly smooth, you might encounter slight inclines in some sections. It's designed for easy cycling, making it suitable for all skill levels."},{"question":"How long does it typically take to cycle the entire route?","answer":"The full route is about 18.5 miles (29.8 km) one way. For a touring cyclist, completing the entire out-and-back journey, which is approximately 42 km, takes around 2 hours and 20 minutes, depending on your pace and stops."},{"question":"Where can I park or access the trail using public transport?","answer":"The trail has numerous entry points throughout the city, often connected by underpasses and pedestrian bridges. Parking is available at various points along the lakefront, and public transportation options like buses and trains provide easy access to many sections. Bike rentals, including Divvy bikes, are also readily available along the route."},{"question":"Are there any permits or entrance fees required to use the trail?","answer":"No, there are no permits or entrance fees required to access or cycle on the Lakefront Trail. It is a public recreational path."},{"question":"What are the best times to cycle the Lakefront Trail for a quieter experience?","answer":"The trail can get very busy, especially on summer weekends. For a more peaceful ride, it's best to go in the early morning or during the shoulder seasons (spring and fall) when there are fewer users."},{"question":"What can I see along the route?","answer":"The trail offers continuous views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline.

A significant improvement in 2018 separated bike and pedestrian paths in many areas, enhancing safety. However, be aware that some sections, particularly around Oak Street Beach, still have less separation, so cyclists should remain alert."},{"question":"Does the trail intersect other well-known paths?","answer":"Yes, the route also passes through sections of the Lakefront Trail, 37 (Illinois), OBT-10, and the Grand Illinois Trail - McHenry to Chicago, among others."},{"question":"Are dogs allowed on the Lakefront Trail?","answer":"While the trail is a popular spot for many, specific rules regarding dogs (leash requirements, designated areas) can vary by park district regulations. It's always best to check local Chicago Park District guidelines for the most current information on dog-friendly policies."},{"question":"What should I know about safety and congestion on the trail?","answer":"The trail is very popular and can be crowded, especially on summer weekends. While many sections have separate paths for bikes and pedestrians, some areas, like around Oak Street Beach, still have shared spaces.

You'll ride a paved path, enjoying continuous views of Lake Michigan on one side and the city's dynamic skyline on the other. The scenery shifts as you pass through major lakefront parks like Lincoln Park and Grant Park, providing a blend of serene natural beauty and bustling urban backdrops. This moderate route covers 26.3 miles (42.3 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 221 feet (67 metres), typically taking about 2 hours and 23 minutes to complete.\n\nTo make the most of your visit, consider riding in the early morning or during shoulder seasons if you prefer a quieter experience, as the trail can be very busy, especially on summer weekends. Bike rentals, including Divvy bikes, are readily available along the route, and you'll find numerous entry points connecting to the city via underpasses and pedestrian bridges.

You'll ride a paved path, enjoying continuous views of Lake Michigan on one side and the city's dynamic skyline on the other. The scenery shifts as you pass through major lakefront parks like Lincoln Park and Grant Park, providing a blend of serene natural beauty and bustling urban backdrops. This moderate route covers 26.3 miles (42.3 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 221 feet (67 metres), typically taking about 2 hours and 23 minutes to complete.\n\nTo make the most of your visit, consider riding in the early morning or during shoulder seasons if you prefer a quieter experience, as the trail can be very busy, especially on summer weekends. Bike rentals, including Divvy bikes, are readily available along the route, and you'll find numerous entry points connecting to the city via underpasses and pedestrian bridges. The path is well-signposted with markers every half-mile, and convenient restrooms and refreshment stops are located along the way.\n\nThis route is a fantastic way to explore Chicago's blend of natural beauty and architectural grandeur.

trail?","answer":"While the route combines the iconic Chicago Lakefront Trail with the beginning segments of historic Route 66, it is not a formally designated single loop trail.

the North Branch Trail, a moderate route stretching 23.8 miles (38.2 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 125 feet (38 metres).

The trail winds through the scenic Forest Preserves of Cook County, offering a diverse landscape of open fields, lagoons, and glimpses of the Chicago River, making for a refreshing escape.\n\nPlanning your visit is straightforward, as the trail offers convenient access points with parking lots, bathrooms, and picnic areas spaced along its length. While you can cycle directly into the Chicago Botanic Garden without a parking fee, be aware that car parking there usually comes with a charge. Most road crossings are managed by traffic signals or bridges, ensuring a largely uninterrupted experience, but always exercise caution at busier intersections like Golf and Harms.\n\nA highlight of this route is the opportunity to explore the 4.4-mile loop around Skokie Lagoons, a beautiful natural area. The trail also provides free bike access to the Chicago Botanic Garden, allowing you to discover its varied landscapes and perhaps even spot local wildlife like deer.

Branch Trail"}},"potential_route_update":true,"visitors":123,"rating_count":37,"rating_score":4.891892,"faq":[{"question":"Where are the main access points and parking for the North Branch Trail?","answer":"The North Branch Trail has numerous parking lots along its route within the Cook County Forest Preserves. These access points are generally well-distributed, making it convenient to start your ride at various locations. Many of these also offer restrooms and picnic areas."},{"question":"Is the North Branch Trail dog-friendly?","answer":"Yes, dogs are generally allowed on the North Branch Trail. However, they must be kept on a leash and under control at all times, and owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets. Always check local Forest Preserves of Cook County regulations for any specific rules."},{"question":"What is the best time of year to cycle the North Branch Trail?","answer":"The trail offers a pleasant experience year-round, with scenery changing beautifully with the seasons. Spring and fall provide comfortable temperatures and vibrant foliage. Summer is also popular, with much of the trail shaded by trees offering relief from the sun. Winter cycling is possible, but conditions may vary depending on snow and ice."},{"question":"Are there any permits or entrance fees required for the North Branch Trail or the Forest Preserves of Cook County?","answer":"No, there are no permits or entrance fees required to access the North Branch Trail itself or the general areas of the Forest Preserves of Cook County that it passes through. However, if you choose to visit the Chicago Botanic Garden, while bike access from the trail is free, parking for cars at the Botanic Garden typically incurs a fee."},{"question":"Can I access the Chicago Botanic Garden from the trail?","answer":"Yes, a significant feature of the North Branch Trail is its direct access to the Chicago Botanic Garden. Cyclists can enter the gardens for free from the trail, allowing you to explore its diverse landscapes and utilize amenities like the lunchroom. This is a great way to visit without paying the usual car parking fee."},{"question":"How long does it typically take to cycle the North Branch Trail?","answer":"The main route of the North Branch Trail is approximately 38 kilometers (23.7 miles) long. For a touring bicycle, the average duration is around 2 hours and 9 minutes, but this can vary based on your speed, stops, and whether you explore additional loops like the Skokie Lagoons."},{"question":"Is the trail suitable for beginners or families?","answer":"Yes, the North Branch Trail is generally considered easy and suitable for all skill levels, including families and inexperienced riders. It is predominantly flat with a smooth, paved surface, making it very accessible. There are occasional slight inclines over bridges, but nothing overly challenging."},{"question":"What is the terrain and surface like on the North Branch Trail?","answer":"The trail is predominantly paved with asphalt and is well-maintained, offering a smooth riding surface. While largely flat, there are occasional slight inclines and descents, especially when crossing over major roads or railway lines via bridges. An unpaved equestrian path parallels sections, offering a more rugged, hard-pack surface suitable for touring bikes with wider tires, though it can get muddy."},{"question":"What kind of scenery and wildlife can I expect along the route?","answer":"The trail winds through numerous Cook County Forest Preserves, offering long stretches of wooded and natural settings. You'll pass by the Chicago River, fields, lagoons, and golf courses. Notable scenic highlights include the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/5080672\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chicago Botanic Gardens</a> and the loop around Skokie Lagoons. Wildlife, particularly deer, are commonly sighted along the trail, and the scenery changes beautifully with the seasons."},{"question":"Does the North Branch Trail connect to other cycling paths?","answer":"Yes, the North Branch Trail serves as a crucial link in the regional trail network. At its northern end near the Botanic Garden, it connects to the Green Bay Trail and the Robert McClory Bike Path. It also connects to the Skokie Valley Trail. The route itself also passes through sections of the Illinois, Grand Illinois Trail - McHenry to Chicago, and OBT-8 trails."},{"question":"Are there facilities like restrooms or water along the trail?","answer":"Yes, the North Branch Trail is well-equipped with facilities. You will find parking lots, bathrooms, and picnic areas distributed along its length within the Cook County Forest Preserves. The Chicago Botanic Garden, accessible directly from the trail, also offers amenities including restrooms and a lunchroom."},{"question":"What should I be aware of regarding trail safety or specific challenges?","answer":"While generally easy, some road crossings, particularly at Golf and Harms or Touhy, require caution and patience due to traffic. There can also be blind curves, so it's advisable to slow down and be aware of other trail users. The western side of the Skokie Lagoons loop can be noisy due to its proximity to I-94."}],"is_nearby_result":false,"_links":{"self":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/discover_tours/e1396774600"},"seo_regions":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/discover_tours/e1396774600/seo_regions/"},"gallery":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/discover_tours/e1396774600/gallery/?filter=all&shuffle=false&shuffle_highlight_images=false"}}},"id":"e1396774600","status":"public","name":"North Branch Trail","nameTranslationMetadata":{"originalText":"Botanic Gardens loop — Chicago","isAutomated":false,"language":"en"},"source":"{\"api\":\"de.komoot.main-api/editorial-tour\",\"type\":\"editorial_tour\",\"id\":1396774600,\"version\":null}","kcalActive":0,"kcalResting":0,"startPoint":{"lat":42.039718,"lng":-87.796738,"alt":191},"distance":38228.275140500635,"duration":7712,"elevationUp":38.12648718800884,"elevationDown":38.12648718800884,"sport":"touringbicycle","constitution":3,"summary":{"surfaces":[{"type":"sf#unknown","amount":0.015919413},{"type":"sb#paved","amount":0.04938261},{"type":"sb#asphalt","amount":0.934698}],"wayTypes":[{"type":"wt#service","amount":0.004910935},{"type":"wt#minor_road","amount":0.04630852},{"type":"wt#cycleway","amount":0.94878054}]},"difficulty":{"explanationTechnical":"db#t1","explanationFitness":"d#c2","grade":"moderate"},"tourInformation":[],"segments":[{"type":"Routed","from":0,"to":462},{"type":"Routed","from":462,"to":530},{"type":"Routed","from":530,"to":587},{"type":"Routed","from":760,"to":805},{"type":"Routed","from":805,"to":1055}],"path":[{"location":{"lat":42.039718,"lng":-87.796738},"index":0,"reference":"poi:167NE5","referenceKey":"poi"},{"location":{"lat":42.132586,"lng":-87.778852},"index":462,"reference":"hlp:961177","referenceKey":"hlp"},{"location":{"lat":42.148197,"lng":-87.785087},"index":530,"reference":"hlp:5184285","referenceKey":"hlp"},{"location":{"lat":42.115669,"lng":-87.776655},"index":587,"endIndex":760,"reference":"hls:4785794","segmentType":"Routed","referenceKey":"hls"},{"location":{"lat":42.087886,"lng":-87.76869},"index":805},{"location":{"lat":42.039718,"lng":-87.796738},"index":1055,"reference":"special:back","referenceKey":"special"}],"shareUrl":"https://www.komoot.com/smarttour/e1396774600/north-branch-trail","smartTourType":"EDITORIAL_TOUR","mapImage":{"src":"https://tourpic-vector.maps.komoot.net/r/big/yatX%7Cwqt@Ik@%7D@%3F%3FaBl@U%3Fs@iAQ%7D@kBE%7D@yAIQ%7DAJaBs@BEdA%5DN_A%3FMVc@a@oA%60@%7BBI%7BAbBoBT%5B_A_AaAFeBs@kCsEPq@jBqB@KpCuBlAIcEq@A%7B@tAqBRmCnD_AKa@%7CAsD@rDAVcARxAx@e@rBBZqB%7CBRbAi@Ts@H%60@rBiALqCrBEp@kBrEQr@jCGdB~@%60AZ~@nBUzAcBzBHnAa@b@%60@LW~@%3F%5CODeAr@CK%60BP%7CAxAHD%7C@%7C@jBhAP%3Fr@m@T%3F%60B%7C@%3FHj@/","templated":false,"type":"image/*","attribution":"Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors","service":"vector_map"},"mapImagePreview":{"src":"https://tourpic-vector.maps.komoot.net/r/small/yatX%7Cwqt@Ik@%7D@%3F%3FaBl@U%3Fs@iAQ%7D@kBE%7D@yAIQ%7DAJaBs@BEdA%5DN_A%3FMVc@a@oA%60@%7BBI%7BAbBoBT%5B_A_AaAFeBs@kCsEPq@jBqB@KpCuBlAIcEq@A%7B@tAqBRmCnD_AKa@%7CAsD@rDAVcARxAx@e@rBBZqB%7CBRbAi@Ts@H%60@rBiALqCrBEp@kBrEQr@jCGdB~@%60AZ~@nBUzAcBzBHnAa@b@%60@LW~@%3F%5CODeAr@CK%60BP%7CAxAHD%7C@%7C@jBhAP%3Fr@m@T%3F%60B%7C@%3FHj@/","templated":false,"type":"image/*","attribution":"Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors","service":"vector_map"},"vectorMapImage":{"src":"https://tourpic-vector.maps.komoot.net/r/big/yatX%7Cwqt@Ik@%7D@%3F%3FaBl@U%3Fs@iAQ%7D@kBE%7D@yAIQ%7DAJaBs@BEdA%5DN_A%3FMVc@a@oA%60@%7BBI%7BAbBoBT%5B_A_AaAFeBs@kCsEPq@jBqB@KpCuBlAIcEq@A%7B@tAqBRmCnD_AKa@%7CAsD@rDAVcARxAx@e@rBBZqB%7CBRbAi@Ts@H%60@rBiALqCrBEp@kBrEQr@jCGdB~@%60AZ~@nBUzAcBzBHnAa@b@%60@LW~@%3F%5CODeAr@CK%60BP%7CAxAHD%7C@%7C@jBhAP%3Fr@m@T%3F%60B%7C@%3FHj@/","templated":false,"type":"image/*","attribution":"Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors"},"vectorMapImagePreview":{"src":"https://tourpic-vector.maps.komoot.net/r/small/yatX%7Cwqt@Ik@%7D@%3F%3FaBl@U%3Fs@iAQ%7D@kBE%7D@yAIQ%7DAJaBs@BEdA%5DN_A%3FMVc@a@oA%60@%7BBI%7BAbBoBT%5B_A_AaAFeBs@kCsEPq@jBqB@KpCuBlAIcEq@A%7B@tAqBRmCnD_AKa@%7CAsD@rDAVcARxAx@e@rBBZqB%7CBRbAi@Ts@H%60@rBiALqCrBEp@kBrEQr@jCGdB~@%60AZ~@nBUzAcBzBHnAa@b@%60@LW~@%3F%5CODeAr@CK%60BP%7CAxAHD%7C@%7C@jBhAP%3Fr@m@T%3F%60B%7C@%3FHj@/","templated":false,"type":"image/*","attribution":"Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors"},"date":"2023-12-22T16:15:29.088Z","changedAt":"2026-04-23T14:15:11.858Z","potentialRouteUpdate":true,"visitors":123,"ratingCount":37,"ratingScore":4.891892,"faq":[{"question":"Where are the main access points and parking for the North Branch Trail?","answer":"The North Branch Trail has numerous parking lots along its route within the Cook County Forest Preserves.

Plaines River Trail"}},"potential_route_update":true,"visitors":29,"rating_count":4,"rating_score":4.75,"faq":[{"question":"What is the terrain like on the Des Plaines River Trail?","answer":"The trail offers a diverse range of surfaces. The northern 20 miles in Lake County are generally well-maintained with a limestone or crushed stone surface. As you move south into Cook County, the trail becomes more rugged, featuring dirt, rocks, and abundant roots, sometimes narrowing into single-track. Sections can be very rough and challenging."},{"question":"When is the best time of year to cycle the Des Plaines River Trail?","answer":"The trail is particularly beautiful in the fall when the leaves change colors. Spring and summer are also popular, but be aware that sections can become muddy and prone to flooding after heavy rains, especially in the southern Cook County portions and underpasses. Winter allows for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in designated sections."},{"question":"Is the Des Plaines River Trail dog-friendly?","answer":"Yes, the trail is generally dog-friendly. However, dogs must be kept on a leash and under control at all times, and you are responsible for cleaning up after your pet. Always check specific forest preserve regulations for any additional rules."},{"question":"Are there any permits or fees required to use the trail?","answer":"No, there are no general permits or entrance fees required to access the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/5849174\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Des Plaines River Trail</a> itself. It runs through the Forest Preserves of Cook County and Lake County, which are publicly accessible. However, specific activities or events within the preserves might require permits, so it's always good to check with the respective forest preserve districts if you plan anything beyond a typical ride."},{"question":"Where can I park to access the Des Plaines River Trail?","answer":"Numerous parking lots are available throughout the interconnected forest preserves along the trail's entire length. You can find convenient access points in both Lake and Cook Counties, often near picnic areas and amenities."},{"question":"What kind of wildlife and scenery can I expect to see?","answer":"The trail meanders alongside the Des Plaines River, offering picturesque views through woodlands, prairies, savannas, and wetlands. You can expect to see a variety of wildlife, including deer, birds (such as blue herons and cranes), snakes, turtles, and beavers. The landscape transitions from wide valleys and open prairies in the north to narrower valleys and more woodlands in the south."},{"question":"Are there any sections of the trail prone to flooding?","answer":"Yes, flooding is a significant concern, particularly in underpasses and sections close to the river after heavy rains. These areas can become impassable, especially in the more rugged Cook County segments. It's advisable to check local conditions before heading out, especially after periods of heavy rainfall."},{"question":"What type of bicycle is best suited for this trail?","answer":"For the northern 20 miles in Lake County, a hybrid bike or one with 32mm tires or larger is generally suitable due to the crushed stone surface. However, for the southern Cook County sections, which are much rougher with dirt, rocks, and roots, a mountain bike is highly recommended, especially when conditions are wet."},{"question":"Does the Des Plaines River Trail connect to other paths?","answer":"Yes, the trail connects to several other regional paths, enhancing its utility for longer rides. It intersects with trails such as the North Branch Trail, Green Bay Trail, North Shore Bike Path, McClory Trail, and the Millennium Trail. The route also passes through sections of the Des Plaines River Trail, OBT-7, and the Des Plaines River Orange Trail (North)."},{"question":"Are there restrooms or water available along the trail?","answer":"Yes, throughout the interconnected forest preserves along the trail, you'll find frequent restrooms, picnic areas, and water fountains. These amenities are generally well-distributed, making it convenient for longer rides."},{"question":"Is the Des Plaines River Trail suitable for families?","answer":"The suitability for families depends on the section. The northern Lake County portions, with their well-maintained, flatter surfaces, are generally very suitable for family cycling. The southern Cook County sections, being more rugged and prone to mud, might be too challenging for younger children or less experienced family members."},{"question":"Are there any specific sections of the trail that are more challenging or rewarding?","answer":"The northern Lake County portion is generally easier and more accessible, offering pleasant, well-maintained paths. For a more adventurous and rugged experience, head to the Cook County sections.

The northern 20 miles in Lake County are generally well-maintained with a limestone or crushed stone surface. As you move south into Cook County, the trail becomes more rugged, featuring dirt, rocks, and abundant roots, sometimes narrowing into single-track. Sections can be very rough and challenging."},{"question":"When is the best time of year to cycle the Des Plaines River Trail?","answer":"The trail is particularly beautiful in the fall when the leaves change colors. Spring and summer are also popular, but be aware that sections can become muddy and prone to flooding after heavy rains, especially in the southern Cook County portions and underpasses. Winter allows for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in designated sections."},{"question":"Is the Des Plaines River Trail dog-friendly?","answer":"Yes, the trail is generally dog-friendly. However, dogs must be kept on a leash and under control at all times, and you are responsible for cleaning up after your pet. Always check specific forest preserve regulations for any additional rules."},{"question":"Are there any permits or fees required to use the trail?","answer":"No, there are no general permits or entrance fees required to access the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/5849174\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Des Plaines River Trail</a> itself. It runs through the Forest Preserves of Cook County and Lake County, which are publicly accessible. However, specific activities or events within the preserves might require permits, so it's always good to check with the respective forest preserve districts if you plan anything beyond a typical ride."},{"question":"Where can I park to access the Des Plaines River Trail?","answer":"Numerous parking lots are available throughout the interconnected forest preserves along the trail's entire length. You can find convenient access points in both Lake and Cook Counties, often near picnic areas and amenities."},{"question":"What kind of wildlife and scenery can I expect to see?","answer":"The trail meanders alongside the Des Plaines River, offering picturesque views through woodlands, prairies, savannas, and wetlands. You can expect to see a variety of wildlife, including deer, birds (such as blue herons and cranes), snakes, turtles, and beavers. The landscape transitions from wide valleys and open prairies in the north to narrower valleys and more woodlands in the south."},{"question":"Are there any sections of the trail prone to flooding?","answer":"Yes, flooding is a significant concern, particularly in underpasses and sections close to the river after heavy rains. These areas can become impassable, especially in the more rugged Cook County segments. It's advisable to check local conditions before heading out, especially after periods of heavy rainfall."},{"question":"What type of bicycle is best suited for this trail?","answer":"For the northern 20 miles in Lake County, a hybrid bike or one with 32mm tires or larger is generally suitable due to the crushed stone surface. However, for the southern Cook County sections, which are much rougher with dirt, rocks, and roots, a mountain bike is highly recommended, especially when conditions are wet."},{"question":"Does the Des Plaines River Trail connect to other paths?","answer":"Yes, the trail connects to several other regional paths, enhancing its utility for longer rides. It intersects with trails such as the North Branch Trail, Green Bay Trail, North Shore Bike Path, McClory Trail, and the Millennium Trail. The route also passes through sections of the Des Plaines River Trail, OBT-7, and the Des Plaines River Orange Trail (North)."},{"question":"Are there restrooms or water available along the trail?","answer":"Yes, throughout the interconnected forest preserves along the trail, you'll find frequent restrooms, picnic areas, and water fountains. These amenities are generally well-distributed, making it convenient for longer rides."},{"question":"Is the Des Plaines River Trail suitable for families?","answer":"The suitability for families depends on the section. The northern Lake County portions, with their well-maintained, flatter surfaces, are generally very suitable for family cycling. The southern Cook County sections, being more rugged and prone to mud, might be too challenging for younger children or less experienced family members."},{"question":"Are there any specific sections of the trail that are more challenging or rewarding?","answer":"The northern Lake County portion is generally easier and more accessible, offering pleasant, well-maintained paths. For a more adventurous and rugged experience, head to the Cook County sections. These southern segments are often described as an 'adventure' due to their natural surfaces, roots, and potential for mud, making them a rewarding challenge for experienced riders."}],"isNearbyResult":false,"roundtrip":true,"type":"editorial_tour","partnerDetails":{"allowDiscoverVisibility":false},"tourDescription":{"text":"Embark on a moderate touring bicycle adventure along the Des Plaines River Trail, a 17.2-mile (27.7 km) route that offers a refreshing escape into nature.

touring bicycle experience, covering 49.0 miles (78.9 km) with an elevation gain of 451 feet (138 metres).

As you cycle, you'll discover a natural oasis following the river, winding through diverse landscapes of woodlands, prairies, and wetlands. The scenery shifts from open savannas in the north to more densely wooded areas as you head south. Keep an eye out for serene lake views and wildlife, especially around spots like the Half Day Forest Preserve Ponds.\n\nPlanning your ride requires some preparation due to the varied terrain. While the northern sections are generally well-maintained, you might encounter rougher surfaces with dirt, rocks, and roots in southern Cook County. Be aware that parts of the trail, particularly underpasses, are prone to flooding after heavy rains, which can make them impassable. It is highly recommended to check current trail conditions for flooding before you set out. For the best experience on these mixed surfaces, a hybrid, gravel, or mountain bike is most suitable.\n\nThis trail provides a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural environment of the Lake County Forest Preserves and Forest Preserves of Cook County. It serves as a vital green corridor, showcasing the region's diverse ecosystems right alongside the river.

Plaines River Trail"}},"potential_route_update":true,"visitors":5,"rating_count":3,"rating_score":4,"faq":[{"question":"What is the terrain like on the Des Plaines River Trail?","answer":"The trail features a varied surface, including pavement, crushed stone, dirt, and even single-track forest sections. The northern 20 miles in Lake County are generally well-maintained crushed gravel. As you head south into Cook County, the surface can become rougher with more natural dirt, rocks, and roots, and is more prone to mud and flooding after heavy rains."},{"question":"When is the best time of year to cycle this trail?","answer":"The trail is particularly beautiful in the fall when the leaves change colors. Spring and summer are also popular, but be aware that sections, especially in the south, can flood after heavy rains. Always check conditions before you go, especially if planning a ride after significant rainfall."},{"question":"What type of bicycle is best suited for this route?","answer":"Given the varied and sometimes rough terrain, particularly in Cook County, a hybrid, gravel, or mountain bike is advisable. Road bikes are generally not recommended due to the unpaved and potentially muddy sections."},{"question":"What are some notable sights or highlights along the way?","answer":"The route offers diverse scenery, including woodlands, prairies, and wetlands. You'll pass through numerous forest preserves. Some specific highlights include <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/6415080\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dam Number 1 Woods</a>, <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3848468\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Half Day Forest Preserve Ponds</a>, and <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3722812\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MacArthur Woods Forest Preserve</a>. The landscape changes from wide valleys in the north to narrower, more wooded areas in the south."},{"question":"Does the trail connect to other paths?","answer":"Yes, the Des Plaines River Trail is a key link in a larger regional network. It connects with other trails like the North Branch Trail and Green Bay Trail. The route also passes through sections of the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3712109\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Middlefork Greenway</a> and the Everett Road Bike Path."},{"question":"Is the Des Plaines River Trail dog-friendly?","answer":"Yes, dogs are generally allowed on the Des Plaines River Trail and within the Lake County Forest Preserves and Forest Preserves of Cook County. They must be kept on a leash no longer than six feet and under control at all times. Please remember to clean up after your pet."},{"question":"Are there any permits or entrance fees required for the forest preserves along the trail?","answer":"No, there are typically no entrance fees or permits required for general use of the Des Plaines River Trail or the forest preserves it passes through in Lake and Cook Counties. However, specific activities or events might require permits, so it's always good to check with the respective forest preserve districts if you have special plans."},{"question":"Where can I access and park for the trail?","answer":"The trail has numerous access points and parking lots along its 56-mile length, as it winds through various forest preserves. Popular access points include those within Independence Grove Forest Preserve and Van Patten Woods in Lake County, which often have ample parking and amenities. For specific parking locations, consult a detailed map of the Lake County Forest Preserves and Forest Preserves of Cook County."},{"question":"What kind of wildlife can I expect to see?","answer":"The preserved corridor along the river is a haven for wildlife. You can frequently spot deer, various bird species, snakes, and turtles. It's an excellent spot for birdwatching, especially in the more secluded wetland and woodland areas."},{"question":"Is this route suitable for family cycling?","answer":"The northern sections of the trail in Lake County, with their well-maintained crushed gravel surfaces and fewer road crossings, are generally more suitable for families and less experienced cyclists. The southern sections in Cook County can be more challenging due to rougher terrain and potential flooding, making them less ideal for young children or those on less robust bikes."},{"question":"Are there places to eat or find amenities near the trail?","answer":"Yes, the trail passes through or near several forest preserves that offer amenities. Independence Grove Forest Preserve, for example, provides lake views, boat rentals, and even a café. Many towns and communities are also accessible from the trail, offering various dining options and facilities, particularly in the northern suburbs of Chicago."},{"question":"What's an insider tip for cycling the entire Des Plaines River Trail?","answer":"If you plan to cycle the entire length, especially after heavy rains, consider starting your ride from the northern, Lake County sections. These parts are generally better maintained and less prone to severe flooding than the southern Cook County segments, which can become impassable. Always check current trail conditions before embarking on a full-length

like on the Des Plaines River Trail?","answer":"The trail features a varied surface, including pavement, crushed stone, dirt, and even single-track forest sections. The northern 20 miles in Lake County are generally well-maintained crushed gravel. As you head south into Cook County, the surface can become rougher with more natural dirt, rocks, and roots, and is more prone to mud and flooding after heavy rains."},{"question":"When is the best time of year to cycle this trail?","answer":"The trail is particularly beautiful in the fall when the leaves change colors. Spring and summer are also popular, but be aware that sections, especially in the south, can flood after heavy rains. Always check conditions before you go, especially if planning a ride after significant rainfall."},{"question":"What type of bicycle is best suited for this route?","answer":"Given the varied and sometimes rough terrain, particularly in Cook County, a hybrid, gravel, or mountain bike is advisable. Road bikes are generally not recommended due to the unpaved and potentially muddy sections."},{"question":"What are some notable sights or highlights along the way?","answer":"The route offers diverse scenery, including woodlands, prairies, and wetlands. You'll pass through numerous forest preserves. Some specific highlights include <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/6415080\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dam Number 1 Woods</a>, <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3848468\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Half Day Forest Preserve Ponds</a>, and <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3722812\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MacArthur Woods Forest Preserve</a>. The landscape changes from wide valleys in the north to narrower, more wooded areas in the south."},{"question":"Does the trail connect to other paths?","answer":"Yes, the Des Plaines River Trail is a key link in a larger regional network. It connects with other trails like the North Branch Trail and Green Bay Trail. The route also passes through sections of the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3712109\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Middlefork Greenway</a> and the Everett Road Bike Path."},{"question":"Is the Des Plaines River Trail dog-friendly?","answer":"Yes, dogs are generally allowed on the Des Plaines River Trail and within the Lake County Forest Preserves and Forest Preserves of Cook County. They must be kept on a leash no longer than six feet and under control at all times. Please remember to clean up after your pet."},{"question":"Are there any permits or entrance fees required for the forest preserves along the trail?","answer":"No, there are typically no entrance fees or permits required for general use of the Des Plaines River Trail or the forest preserves it passes through in Lake and Cook Counties. However, specific activities or events might require permits, so it's always good to check with the respective forest preserve districts if you have special plans."},{"question":"Where can I access and park for the trail?","answer":"The trail has numerous access points and parking lots along its 56-mile length, as it winds through various forest preserves. Popular access points include those within Independence Grove Forest Preserve and Van Patten Woods in Lake County, which often have ample parking and amenities. For specific parking locations, consult a detailed map of the Lake County Forest Preserves and Forest Preserves of Cook County."},{"question":"What kind of wildlife can I expect to see?","answer":"The preserved corridor along the river is a haven for wildlife. You can frequently spot deer, various bird species, snakes, and turtles. It's an excellent spot for birdwatching, especially in the more secluded wetland and woodland areas."},{"question":"Is this route suitable for family cycling?","answer":"The northern sections of the trail in Lake County, with their well-maintained crushed gravel surfaces and fewer road crossings, are generally more suitable for families and less experienced cyclists. The southern sections in Cook County can be more challenging due to rougher terrain and potential flooding, making them less ideal for young children or those on less robust bikes."},{"question":"Are there places to eat or find amenities near the trail?","answer":"Yes, the trail passes through or near several forest preserves that offer amenities. Independence Grove Forest Preserve, for example, provides lake views, boat rentals, and even a café. Many towns and communities are also accessible from the trail, offering various dining options and facilities, particularly in the northern suburbs of Chicago."},{"question":"What's an insider tip for cycling the entire Des Plaines River Trail?","answer":"If you plan to cycle the entire length, especially after heavy rains, consider starting your ride from the northern, Lake County sections. These parts are generally better maintained and less prone to severe flooding than the southern Cook County segments, which can become impassable. Always check current trail conditions before embarking on a full-length ride."}],"isNearbyResult":false,"roundtrip":true,"type":"editorial_tour","partnerDetails":{"allowDiscoverVisibility":false},"tourDescription":{"text":"The Des Plaines River Trail offers a challenging touring bicycle experience, covering 49.0 miles (78.9 km) with an elevation gain of 451 feet (138 metres).

As you pedal, you'll experience a natural escape, winding through diverse ecosystems of woodlands, prairies, and wetlands. Keep an eye out for local wildlife such as deer, hawks, and fox. You'll pass through tranquil spots like Dam Number 1 Woods, offering a serene backdrop to your ride.\n\nBefore you set out, be aware that sections of the Des Plaines River Trail, particularly in Cook County, feature varied surfaces that can be rough, muddy after rain, or have roots and uneven patches. Some underpasses along the route are prone to flooding, which might require you to take detours onto adjacent roads. For the best experience on this trail, a hybrid or gravel bike is strongly recommended over a pure road bike to handle the diverse terrain effectively.\n\nThis extensive loop offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature right outside the city, tracing the paths of both the Des Plaines River and the North Branch of the Chicago River. The trail is notable for its blend of natural beauty and accessibility, providing a significant outdoor experience within the region.

Plaines River Trail and North Branch Trail Loop"}},"potential_route_update":true,"visitors":4,"rating_count":0,"faq":[{"question":"How long does it typically take to cycle this loop?","answer":"This touring bicycle loop is approximately 78.3 kilometers (48.7 miles) long. Komoot estimates it takes around 5 hours and 6 minutes to complete, but your actual time may vary based on your pace, stops, and trail conditions."},{"question":"What is the terrain like on the Des Plaines River Trail and North Branch Trail Loop?","answer":"The terrain is generally flat to gently rolling. However, surfaces vary significantly. The North Branch Trail is mostly paved asphalt, offering a smooth ride. The Des Plaines River Trail, especially in Cook County, can be more varied, with crushed stone, paved sections, natural dirt, and even some rugged, uneven areas. The Lake County section of the DPRT is typically well-maintained crushed limestone."},{"question":"Is this loop suitable for beginners?","answer":"While both trails are largely flat, making them accessible, the full loop is rated as 'difficult' for touring cycling due to its length and varied surfaces. The unpaved and sometimes rugged sections of the Des Plaines River Trail in Cook County can be challenging, especially for road bikes or after rain. It's best suited for cyclists with good fitness and experience with mixed terrain."},{"question":"What kind of bike is best for this route?","answer":"For the full range of surfaces you'll encounter, a hybrid or gravel bike with wider tires is generally recommended. Pure road bikes might struggle on the rougher, unpaved sections of the Des Plaines River Trail, particularly after wet weather."},{"question":"What can I see along the route?","answer":"You'll experience diverse ecosystems, including woodlands, prairies, and wetlands. Highlights include the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/5316719\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">North Branch Red Paved Trail</a>, <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/961177\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">North Branch Black Paved Trail</a>, and the scenic <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/6298605\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Des Plaines River Trail</a>. You'll also pass through <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/6415080\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dam Number 1 Woods</a> and the Skokie Lagoons, with opportunities to see wildlife."},{"question":"What wildlife can I expect to see?","answer":"Both trails offer excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. Common sightings include deer, hawks, eagles, various waterfowl, cranes, and fox. The natural settings provide a great escape from the urban environment."},{"question":"What is the best time of year to cycle this loop?","answer":"The trails are enjoyable throughout the warmer months. Fall is particularly stunning when the leaves change color, offering vibrant scenery. Spring and early summer are also great for lush greenery and active wildlife. Be aware that some sections can be muddy after rain."},{"question":"Are there specific parking areas or trailheads for this loop?","answer":"Both the Des Plaines River Trail and the North Branch Trail have numerous access points with parking along their lengths. Since this is a combined loop, you can choose a convenient starting point that offers parking. Consult local forest preserve district maps for specific parking lot locations."},{"question":"Does the trail intersect with other paths?","answer":"Yes, this route connects with several other regional trail systems. Notable intersections include sections of the OBT-8, the Grand Illinois Trail - McHenry to Chicago, and the Green Bay Trail, allowing for even longer rides or alternative routes."},{"question":"Are dogs allowed on the Des Plaines River Trail and North Branch Trail Loop?","answer":"Information regarding specific dog policies for this combined loop is not provided in the available sources. It's advisable to check the official websites for the Lake County Forest Preserves (for DPRT) and the Forest Preserves of Cook County (for DPRT and NBT) for their most current pet regulations."},{"question":"Do I need a permit or is there an entrance fee to use these trails?","answer":"Based on the available information, there are no specific permits or entrance fees mentioned for cycling on the Des Plaines River Trail or the North Branch Trail. However, it's always a good idea to check the official websites of the respective forest preserve districts for any updates on regulations or fees."},{"question":"What should I be aware of regarding trail conditions?","answer":"Be prepared for varied conditions, especially on the Des Plaines River Trail.

it typically take to cycle this loop?","answer":"This touring bicycle loop is approximately 78.3 kilometers (48.7 miles) long. Komoot estimates it takes around 5 hours and 6 minutes to complete, but your actual time may vary based on your pace, stops, and trail conditions."},{"question":"What is the terrain like on the Des Plaines River Trail and North Branch Trail Loop?","answer":"The terrain is generally flat to gently rolling. However, surfaces vary significantly. The North Branch Trail is mostly paved asphalt, offering a smooth ride. The Des Plaines River Trail, especially in Cook County, can be more varied, with crushed stone, paved sections, natural dirt, and even some rugged, uneven areas. The Lake County section of the DPRT is typically well-maintained crushed limestone."},{"question":"Is this loop suitable for beginners?","answer":"While both trails are largely flat, making them accessible, the full loop is rated as 'difficult' for touring cycling due to its length and varied surfaces. The unpaved and sometimes rugged sections of the Des Plaines River Trail in Cook County can be challenging, especially for road bikes or after rain. It's best suited for cyclists with good fitness and experience with mixed terrain."},{"question":"What kind of bike is best for this route?","answer":"For the full range of surfaces you'll encounter, a hybrid or gravel bike with wider tires is generally recommended. Pure road bikes might struggle on the rougher, unpaved sections of the Des Plaines River Trail, particularly after wet weather."},{"question":"What can I see along the route?","answer":"You'll experience diverse ecosystems, including woodlands, prairies, and wetlands. Highlights include the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/5316719\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">North Branch Red Paved Trail</a>, <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/961177\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">North Branch Black Paved Trail</a>, and the scenic <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/6298605\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Des Plaines River Trail</a>. You'll also pass through <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/6415080\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dam Number 1 Woods</a> and the Skokie Lagoons, with opportunities to see wildlife."},{"question":"What wildlife can I expect to see?","answer":"Both trails offer excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. Common sightings include deer, hawks, eagles, various waterfowl, cranes, and fox. The natural settings provide a great escape from the urban environment."},{"question":"What is the best time of year to cycle this loop?","answer":"The trails are enjoyable throughout the warmer months. Fall is particularly stunning when the leaves change color, offering vibrant scenery. Spring and early summer are also great for lush greenery and active wildlife. Be aware that some sections can be muddy after rain."},{"question":"Are there specific parking areas or trailheads for this loop?","answer":"Both the Des Plaines River Trail and the North Branch Trail have numerous access points with parking along their lengths. Since this is a combined loop, you can choose a convenient starting point that offers parking. Consult local forest preserve district maps for specific parking lot locations."},{"question":"Does the trail intersect with other paths?","answer":"Yes, this route connects with several other regional trail systems. Notable intersections include sections of the OBT-8, the Grand Illinois Trail - McHenry to Chicago, and the Green Bay Trail, allowing for even longer rides or alternative routes."},{"question":"Are dogs allowed on the Des Plaines River Trail and North Branch Trail Loop?","answer":"Information regarding specific dog policies for this combined loop is not provided in the available sources. It's advisable to check the official websites for the Lake County Forest Preserves (for DPRT) and the Forest Preserves of Cook County (for DPRT and NBT) for their most current pet regulations."},{"question":"Do I need a permit or is there an entrance fee to use these trails?","answer":"Based on the available information, there are no specific permits or entrance fees mentioned for cycling on the Des Plaines River Trail or the North Branch Trail. However, it's always a good idea to check the official websites of the respective forest preserve districts for any updates on regulations or fees."},{"question":"What should I be aware of regarding trail conditions?","answer":"Be prepared for varied conditions, especially on the Des Plaines River Trail. Some underpasses can flood after heavy rain, potentially requiring detours onto adjacent roads. Always check for recent construction or closures, particularly in the Cook County DPRT sections, before you head out."}],"isNearbyResult":false,"roundtrip":true,"type":"editorial_tour","partnerDetails":{"allowDiscoverVisibility":false},"tourDescription":{"text":"Embark on a challenging touring cycling adventure along the Des Plaines River Trail and North Branch Trail Loop.

Line and North Shore Channel Trail Loop"}},"potential_route_update":true,"visitors":10,"rating_count":3,"rating_score":4,"faq":[{"question":"Where can I park to access the Valley Line and North Shore Channel Trail Loop?","answer":"While there isn't one designated parking lot for the entire loop, the Valley Line Trail (also known as the Sauganash Trail) offers convenient parking at Sauganash Park. For the North Shore Channel Trail, you can often find street parking in adjacent neighborhoods or at parks along its route, such as Ladd Arboretum."},{"question":"Is the Valley Line and North Shore Channel Trail Loop dog-friendly?","answer":"Yes, both the Valley Line Trail and the North Shore Channel Trail are generally dog-friendly. Please ensure your dog is kept on a leash at all times and that you clean up after them to maintain a pleasant experience for all users."},{"question":"What is the best time of year to cycle this loop?","answer":"Spring, summer, and fall are ideal for cycling this loop. The flat terrain makes it enjoyable in warmer months, and the changing foliage in autumn offers beautiful scenery. Winter cycling is possible, but conditions can vary with snow and ice, especially on less-maintained sections."},{"question":"Do I need any permits or pay entrance fees for this route?","answer":"No, there are no permits or entrance fees required to access or cycle the Valley Line and North Shore Channel Trail Loop. Both trails are public paths."},{"question":"Is this loop suitable for beginner cyclists?","answer":"Yes, this loop is largely considered easy and suitable for beginners. The overall difficulty is rated as 'easy' due to its mostly flat profile. However, be aware that the North Shore Channel Trail has numerous at-grade street crossings and some sections with rougher surfaces, which require attention."},{"question":"What kind of terrain can I expect on the trail?","answer":"The loop offers a mix of surfaces. The Valley Line Trail is primarily paved and very smooth, built on a former railway. The North Shore Channel Trail features asphalt and concrete, but also includes sections of crushed limestone or short dirt paths. Expect some potentially rough patches, cracks, and bumps, particularly in the Chicago sections of the North Shore Channel Trail."},{"question":"What are some notable sights along the way?","answer":"A major highlight is the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/223729\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Skokie Northshore Sculpture Park</a>, which displays over 60 large sculptures along the North Shore Channel Trail. You might also spot the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/5365574\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Directing Traffic Sculpture</a>. The route also passes through various parks and offers views of the North Shore Channel itself."},{"question":"Does this loop connect to other trails?","answer":"Yes, this loop is part of a larger interconnected network. The route itself utilizes sections of the North Shore Channel Trail and the Valley Line Trail. It also passes through parts of the Kedzie Avenue, Grand Illinois Trail - McHenry to Chicago, and North Branch Trail - Lakefront. The Valley Line Trail also connects to the Skokie Valley Trail via the Lincolnwood Valley Line Trail."},{"question":"How long does it typically take to complete the Valley Line and North Shore Channel Trail Loop?","answer":"The full loop is approximately 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) long. On average, it takes about 1 hour and 8 minutes to complete by touring bicycle, depending on your pace and how often you stop to enjoy the sights."},{"question":"Are there amenities like restrooms or cafes along the route?","answer":"While the trails themselves don't have dedicated facilities every few miles, you'll find restrooms available at Sauganash Park, which is directly accessible from the Valley Line Trail. Both trails pass through suburban areas like Evanston and Skokie, where you can find cafes, restaurants, and other amenities a short detour off the main path."},{"question":"Is the loop family-friendly?","answer":"Absolutely! The flat and mostly paved nature of the Valley Line Trail makes it excellent for families with children.

However, be aware that the North Shore Channel Trail has numerous at-grade street crossings and some sections with rougher surfaces, which require attention."},{"question":"What kind of terrain can I expect on the trail?","answer":"The loop offers a mix of surfaces. The Valley Line Trail is primarily paved and very smooth, built on a former railway. The North Shore Channel Trail features asphalt and concrete, but also includes sections of crushed limestone or short dirt paths. Expect some potentially rough patches, cracks, and bumps, particularly in the Chicago sections of the North Shore Channel Trail."},{"question":"What are some notable sights along the way?","answer":"A major highlight is the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/223729\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Skokie Northshore Sculpture Park</a>, which displays over 60 large sculptures along the North Shore Channel Trail.

On average, it takes about 1 hour and 8 minutes to complete by touring bicycle, depending on your pace and how often you stop to enjoy the sights."},{"question":"Are there amenities like restrooms or cafes along the route?","answer":"While the trails themselves don't have dedicated facilities every few miles, you'll find restrooms available at Sauganash Park, which is directly accessible from the Valley Line Trail. Both trails pass through suburban areas like Evanston and Skokie, where you can find cafes, restaurants, and other amenities a short detour off the main path."},{"question":"Is the loop family-friendly?","answer":"Absolutely! The flat and mostly paved nature of the Valley Line Trail makes it excellent for families with children. The North Shore Channel Trail is also generally family-friendly, though parents should be mindful of the numerous street crossings and occasional rougher patches, especially with younger riders."},{"question":"What's an insider tip for cycling this loop?","answer":"For a smoother, more continuous ride, consider starting your journey on the Valley Line Trail.

Plaines River Trail and Robert McClory Bike Path Loop"}},"potential_route_update":true,"visitors":4,"rating_count":1,"rating_score":5,"faq":[{"question":"What kind of bike is best suited for this loop?","answer":"Given the varied terrain, a hybrid, gravel, or mountain bike is ideal for this loop. The Des Plaines River Trail, especially in Cook County, features rougher surfaces like dirt, gravel, roots, and rocks, which can be challenging for road bikes. The Robert McClory Bike Path is generally smoother, with asphalt and crushed limestone, but a more robust bike will provide a comfortable experience throughout the entire route."},{"question":"What is the terrain like on the Des Plaines River Trail and Robert McClory Bike Path Loop?","answer":"The loop offers diverse terrain. The Des Plaines River Trail has a multi-surface composition including pavement, crushed stone, dirt, and gravel, with some rougher sections and potential for mud after rain. The Robert McClory Bike Path is primarily asphalt and finely screened limestone, generally flat and well-maintained. You'll experience a mix of natural riverine environments and converted rail-trail sections."},{"question":"Are there any notable landmarks or scenic spots along the way?","answer":"Yes, the route features several points of interest. You'll pass by <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/2608227\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Independence Grove Lake</a>, offering beautiful water views. Another highlight is the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3585614\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stone Bridge Over the River in Van Patten Woods Forest Preserve</a>. The <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3579010\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roger Mac Clory gravel path</a> section itself is a notable feature, and you'll also encounter the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3775130\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington Street Bike Path</a>."},{"question":"What is the best time of year to cycle this loop?","answer":"Spring and fall are generally the best times to cycle this loop, offering pleasant temperatures and beautiful scenery. During warmer months, be prepared for mosquitoes and ticks, especially on the Des Plaines River Trail. After heavy rains, parts of the Des Plaines River Trail, particularly in Cook County, can become very muddy or even impassable due to flooding, so checking trail conditions is advisable."},{"question":"Does the trail intersect with other well-known paths?","answer":"Yes, this route is part of a larger regional trail network. It utilizes significant portions of the Des Plaines River Trail and the Robert McClory Bike Path. You may also encounter sections of the 37 (Illinois), Grand Illinois Trail - McHenry to Chicago, and the North Shore Bike Path."},{"question":"Is the Des Plaines River Trail and Robert McClory Bike Path Loop dog-friendly?","answer":"Yes, dogs are generally allowed on both the Des Plaines River Trail and the Robert McClory Bike Path. However, they must be kept on a leash at all times, and you are responsible for cleaning up after your pet. Always check specific forest preserve regulations for any additional rules."},{"question":"Do I need any permits or pay entrance fees to access the Lake County Forest Preserves along this route?","answer":"Generally, there are no entrance fees for visitors to the Lake County Forest Preserves. However, certain activities or facilities might require a permit or fee. For specific details on permits for activities like fishing, boating, or special events, it's best to check the official Lake County Forest Preserves website at <a href=\"https://vertexaisearch.cloud.google.com/grounding-api-redirect/AUZIYQGG2dG5FTAUlXk5SkTYWABprx8-D4a3jIp8BkPRtSUFTKhdOv0AcPDiNmCKFPoEVUPZP6hyoxNSJSyGTxC0T6KEaY1znVxg4lJcTACu9rPVdGikEXcUfrh9YxT2RNalOexJqcxgvo0Kue3C33j15mVU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">visitlakecounty.org</a>."},{"question":"Where can I find parking and access points for the loop?","answer":"Both the Des Plaines River Trail and the Robert McClory Bike Path have numerous access points and parking lots along their lengths, especially in Lake County. You can find detailed maps and specific parking locations on the Lake County Forest Preserves website or by consulting a local trail map. Many forest preserves along the route offer designated parking areas."},{"question":"What kind of wildlife can I expect to see on the trail?","answer":"The Des Plaines River Trail, in particular, is a great place for wildlife viewing. You might spot deer, various bird species, snakes, and turtles. The trail meanders through woodlands, prairies, and wetlands, providing diverse habitats for these animals. Keep an eye out, especially during quieter times of the day."},{"question":"Is this loop suitable for beginner touring cyclists?","answer":"This loop is rated as difficult for touring cycling. While both trails are generally flat, the varying surfaces on the Des Plaines River Trail, especially in its southern sections, can be challenging. Rougher terrain, potential mud, and frequent road crossings require a good fitness level and bike handling skills. Beginners might prefer to tackle shorter, paved sections of the Robert McClory Bike Path first."},{"question":"Are there amenities like restrooms or water fountains available?","answer":"Yes, especially along the Lake County portion of the Des Plaines River Trail, you'll find amenities such as restrooms, picnic areas, and water fountains. The Robert McClory Bike Path also passes through many communities, offering opportunities to access services. However, it's always wise to carry enough water and snacks, especially for longer stretches."}],"is_nearby_result":false,"_links":{"self":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/discover_tours/e920298632"},"seo_regions":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/discover_tours/e920298632/seo_regions/"},"gallery":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/discover_tours/e920298632/gallery/?filter=all&shuffle=false&shuffle_highlight_images=false"}}},"id":"e920298632","status":"public","name":"Des

Crossing, and Millennium Trail Loop?","answer":"The loop offers a varied terrain, combining unpaved sections, compacted gravel, asphalt, and some paved portions. While northern segments of the Des Plaines River Trail are generally smoother crushed limestone, southern parts, especially in Cook County, can be rockier, unpaved, and prone to muddiness after heavy rains. The Millennium Trail and Prairie Crossing Bike Path also feature a mix of gravel and paved surfaces."},{"question":"What type of bike is best suited for this route?","answer":"Given the varied surfaces, including unpaved sections, gravel, and potential for muddy areas, a <strong>hybrid or gravel bike</strong> is highly recommended for a more comfortable and enjoyable ride. Road bikes might find some sections challenging, especially after rain."},{"question":"Where can I park to access the Des Plaines River, Prairie Crossing, and Millennium Trail Loop?","answer":"There are numerous access points and parking lots along the Des Plaines River Trail, making it easy to join the loop at various locations. Many forest preserves along the route offer parking facilities."},{"question":"What is the best time of year to cycle this loop?","answer":"The loop is beautiful year-round, but <strong>fall foliage</strong> is particularly vibrant and provides a stunning backdrop. Spring and summer also offer pleasant conditions, though some sections can become muddy after heavy rains. Consider checking local weather conditions before you go."},{"question":"Are there any permits or fees required to use the trails in Lake County?","answer":"Generally, there are no specific permits or entrance fees required to access the public trails within the Lake County Forest Preserves for cycling. However, it's always a good idea to check the official Lake County Forest Preserves website for any updated regulations or specific event requirements."},{"question":"Is this loop suitable for families or beginners?","answer":"The loop is rated as 'moderate' overall. While some sections are smooth and suitable for all skill levels, the varied surfaces and potential for muddy or rougher areas mean that beginners or families might prefer to stick to the smoother, crushed limestone sections, particularly in Lake County. A hybrid or gravel bike will enhance comfort for all riders."},{"question":"What can I see along the route?","answer":"The loop offers diverse and picturesque scenery. You'll pass through protected lands with lakes, prairies, wetlands, and forest preserves. Notable highlights include <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/2608227\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Independence Grove Lake</a>, sections of the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3775130\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington Street Bike Path</a>, and the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3755314\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rollins Savanna Millennium Trail</a>. The landscape changes frequently, providing a continuously interesting experience."},{"question":"What kind of wildlife might I see on the trail?","answer":"The trails form a significant natural oasis, providing habitat for diverse wildlife. Common sightings include deer, various bird species, turtles, and occasionally even beavers and herons. The extensive network of forest preserves along the Des Plaines River Trail is rich in biodiversity."},{"question":"Does this loop connect with other trails?","answer":"Yes, this loop is notable for effectively linking several significant regional trails. It utilizes sections of the Des Plaines River Trail, the Prairie Crossing Bike Path, and the Millennium Trail. It also intersects with parts of the Grand Illinois Trail - McHenry to Chicago, Gurnee Bike Path, and North Shore Bike Path, among others, creating a comprehensive route through Lake County's forest preserve system."},{"question":"Is this trail dog-friendly?","answer":"Many sections of the trails that make up this loop, particularly within the Lake County Forest Preserves, are dog-friendly. However, dogs must always be kept on a leash and owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets. Always check specific signage at trailheads for any local regulations."},{"question":"Are there amenities like restrooms or water along the way?","answer":"Yes, the extensive network of forest preserves along the Des Plaines River Trail provides additional recreational opportunities and amenities. You can often find restrooms, picnic areas, and water fountains at various points, especially near major access areas and forest preserve facilities."},{"question":"Are there any sections of the trail that can be challenging or require extra attention?","answer":"While much of the route is moderate, some underpasses for road crossings can be susceptible to flooding after heavy rains.

terrain like on the Des Plaines River, Prairie Crossing, and Millennium Trail Loop?","answer":"The loop offers a varied terrain, combining unpaved sections, compacted gravel, asphalt, and some paved portions. While northern segments of the Des Plaines River Trail are generally smoother crushed limestone, southern parts, especially in Cook County, can be rockier, unpaved, and prone to muddiness after heavy rains. The Millennium Trail and Prairie Crossing Bike Path also feature a mix of gravel and paved surfaces."},{"question":"What type of bike is best suited for this route?","answer":"Given the varied surfaces, including unpaved sections, gravel, and potential for muddy areas, a <strong>hybrid or gravel bike</strong> is highly recommended for a more comfortable and enjoyable ride. Road bikes might find some sections challenging, especially after rain."},{"question":"Where can I park to access the Des Plaines River, Prairie Crossing, and Millennium Trail Loop?","answer":"There are numerous access points and parking lots along the Des Plaines River Trail, making it easy to join the loop at various locations. Many forest preserves along the route offer parking facilities."},{"question":"What is the best time of year to cycle this loop?","answer":"The loop is beautiful year-round, but <strong>fall foliage</strong> is particularly vibrant and provides a stunning backdrop. Spring and summer also offer pleasant conditions, though some sections can become muddy after heavy rains. Consider checking local weather conditions before you go."},{"question":"Are there any permits or fees required to use the trails in Lake County?","answer":"Generally, there are no specific permits or entrance fees required to access the public trails within the Lake County Forest Preserves for cycling. However, it's always a good idea to check the official Lake County Forest Preserves website for any updated regulations or specific event requirements."},{"question":"Is this loop suitable for families or beginners?","answer":"The loop is rated as 'moderate' overall. While some sections are smooth and suitable for all skill levels, the varied surfaces and potential for muddy or rougher areas mean that beginners or families might prefer to stick to the smoother, crushed limestone sections, particularly in Lake County. A hybrid or gravel bike will enhance comfort for all riders."},{"question":"What can I see along the route?","answer":"The loop offers diverse and picturesque scenery. You'll pass through protected lands with lakes, prairies, wetlands, and forest preserves. Notable highlights include <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/2608227\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Independence Grove Lake</a>, sections of the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3775130\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington Street Bike Path</a>, and the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/highlight/3755314\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rollins Savanna Millennium Trail</a>. The landscape changes frequently, providing a continuously interesting experience."},{"question":"What kind of wildlife might I see on the trail?","answer":"The trails form a significant natural oasis, providing habitat for diverse wildlife. Common sightings include deer, various bird species, turtles, and occasionally even beavers and herons. The extensive network of forest preserves along the Des Plaines River Trail is rich in biodiversity."},{"question":"Does this loop connect with other trails?","answer":"Yes, this loop is notable for effectively linking several significant regional trails. It utilizes sections of the Des Plaines River Trail, the Prairie Crossing Bike Path, and the Millennium Trail. It also intersects with parts of the Grand Illinois Trail - McHenry to Chicago, Gurnee Bike Path, and North Shore Bike Path, among others, creating a comprehensive route through Lake County's forest preserve system."},{"question":"Is this trail dog-friendly?","answer":"Many sections of the trails that make up this loop, particularly within the Lake County Forest Preserves, are dog-friendly. However, dogs must always be kept on a leash and owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets. Always check specific signage at trailheads for any local regulations."},{"question":"Are there amenities like restrooms or water along the way?","answer":"Yes, the extensive network of forest preserves along the Des Plaines River Trail provides additional recreational opportunities and amenities. You can often find restrooms, picnic areas, and water fountains at various points, especially near major access areas and forest preserve facilities."},{"question":"Are there any sections of the trail that can be challenging or require extra attention?","answer":"While much of the route is moderate, some underpasses for road crossings can be susceptible to flooding after heavy rains. Additionally, the southern parts of the Des Plaines River Trail, particularly in Cook County, can be rougher with more roots, rocks, branches, and dips, requiring extra attention and potentially a more robust bike."}],"isNearbyResult":false,"roundtrip":true,"type":"editorial_tour","partnerDetails":{"allowDiscoverVisibility":false},"tourDescription":{"text":"Cycle a moderate 32.2-mile loop
