Hiking & Trails
Grand Illinois Trail - The name for the 535-mile loop, a collection of other state and local trails, certainly fits.
Riders who want to put their legs to the ultimate test over a multiday tour can set off from Lake Michigan and pedal to the Mississippi River bluff s via Illinois’ northern prairies. Then they can loop back east, heading toward Chicago along the Illinois River. For just a day trip, pick a stretch of trail that cuts through scenic areas like Mississippi Palisades or Apple River Canyon state parks.
