Run Lake Katherine

Great If You Like Urbanized Nature

I was expecting something a tad bit more rugged. It's a beautifully manicured paved walkway around the lake. Great for relaxing bike rides and strollers and whatnot. But if you want that nature solitude, this is not the place.

Bike the Salt Creek Trail

This trail is 5.8 miles of paved path, which is ideal for biking (especially those of us with road bikes), skating, and even running.

Run the Fullersburg Woods Loop

Illinois / Fullersburg and Graue Mill Loop Trail

This is a six-mile loop along the banks of the Salt Creek in Oakbrook, IL. The flat trail features trees and wildflowers (great walk to do in autumn). Trail is also good for bike riders.
