    Tips

    Cycling

    Once a right-of-way for the Chicago Aurora & Elgin Railroad, the Illinois Prairie Path now runs for about 61 miles. Its surface is mostly crushed limestone dust, which should be easy fare for a touring bicycle's tires, and historical markers along the way make it feel like you're cycling through Chicago's past.

    Hiking

    The Illinois Prairie Path (Elgin Branch) was one of the country's first rail-trails. In total, the path is 58-miles long. This section is crushed gravel and runs through beautiful woodland.
