Lots of space. Great trail, but watch out for the bikes. They speed by like they own the place, and most of them dont know how to say, on your left!.

Too much of musqito along the Trail. Also no benches to sit for few minutes. One can see the difference once u enter Cook county trail on the other side.

Its a damn nice dam. In a wooded foresty area (not really a park, but too small to be an actual forest).But you can spot hares, deers and all kinds of birds there. We also saw a coyote once.

The Des Plaines River trail is awesome and capacious - you can go as far north as Wisconsin, and all the way south to the outskirts of Chicago. Im actually planning to bike that exact route :) Gravel trails abound - a skinny tired road bike had no problem dealing with it, though. Beavers and deer are the animal highlights, plus I saw a turtle out once - keep an eye out for beaver dams!

Can be hard to access. Ended up on wrong side of river. Pretty nice for the city folk I guess, but I prefer parks in more rural areas. Less people, more space.
