It is a key link in a regional network of trails that includes the North Shore Bike Path, the McClory Trail and the Millennium Trail. The trail follows the river's edge from Russell Road in Wadsworth to just south of Riverside Drive in Lincolnshire. It picks up again just north of Estonian Lane and runs south to Lake Cook Road where it connects to the Cook County Forest Preserve trail system. Bridges and underpasses from Wadsworth Road south make it possible to travel without crossing any major roads." http://www.lcfpd.org/preserves/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.view&object_id=160&type=P This weekend I hope to take the N. Branch trail (that starts at Pulaski and Foster and goes all the way to WI) with my daughter in tow, those trails are mostly paved.  My house is pretty much en route between these 2 trails.  I just moved to the hood so I am stoked! “The trail spans nearly the entire length of Lake County for 31 miles as it winds through 13 forest preserves.

What a fun discovery. Where does the DPRT trail start? I want to learn more about the local trail system and take more scenic rides, aside from the Lakefront Path. Wow, that sounds really cool!
