Ideal place to walk, run, ride a bike in Wicker Park , Bucktown, Logan Square neighborhoods . You'll see art installations and (seasonal) art and yoga events . One of many Chicago parks to enjoy!

Rick Torres

Side lanes are padded which my knees love. Trees are still young so shade is rare. Bring sunglasses or even a hat. Still is a work in progress. Can't wait to see the finished park .

Noel Rodriguez

Great place to have a casual walk after dinner in Wicker Park or for a solid run before or after work.

Jonathan Ferrera

Do bring sunglasses - there's very little shade. It is 2.7 miles long and has on/off ramps every quarter mile or so. You can see the distance markings every tenth of a mile in both directions.

Awesome bike path through Humboldt Park and Wicker Park areas! Beautiful ride and really safe

Amy Lebowsky

Highly impressed! Every city needs this. Can't wait to see how this fills in next summer. Judging by the steady flow of users, it's already a hit.

Andy Swindler

One of the best outdoor spaces in Chicago. Excellent for walking, biking or running. Wonderful parks and people watching . Be sure to drop to street on the west end to check out the murals .

Laura Caputo

Visit in the morning because it is packed with idiots that don't know how to share a path in the afternoon and evening.

Ting

Mostly a running and biking trail . Limited seating areas.

Shannon Jeropke

It can get busy on nice days but it’s a beautiful place to hike and bike .

Allen West

A great place to take a walk in the city and feel at peace .

In the summer it gets pretty busy with runners, bikers and skaters.

So terrific to have in the neighborhood During crowded times be sure to look out for traffic.

Paige Kaliski

bike here at night, it's incredible

Thierry Levenq

Great but should not be compared to the highline as lonely planet does

Mike

Runners in the right line , walkers and cyclists to the left.

Shawn Calhoun

Urban oasis!!

Cary Black

Go early and often.

Mark Gray

Today 606 street party awesome music

Jonathan Ferrera

The trail connects six parks along its length and provides excellent pedestrian and cyclist access to other neighborhoods without having to cross a single street.

Mina R

Nice trail but not much of a view

Eric Boldon

Running track

Maureen

I would not consider this a hiking trail , at best it's an elevated sidewalk with some oversculpted landscaping. I think you'd be better off to just get out of the city for the day.

Joshua Ehart

Watch out for too many bikes going too fast.

Alejandra Bonola

Es una pista para correr , andar en bici, dar un paseo.Hay lugares para sentarse de vez en cuando, casi no hay lugares de sombra. Hay varios lugares para estacionar bicis.
