Terrace View Park view

Highlight • Viewpoint

The views across Terrace Park from the road are lovely with rich green grass to see. The park would make a good place to stop for a mid ride break off of the bike.

Illinois Prairie Path (Grand Illinois Trail)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Illinois Prairie Path and Grand Illinois Trail overlap here. Both long-distance trails are built primarily from crushed limestone dust, although they also go through stretches of concrete and asphalt surfacing.

This stretch of trail passes through a greenbelt in the center of town, and also passes close to several parks that can be accessed with just a little road riding.

Elmhurst Salt Creek Forest Preserve

Highlight • Forest

Elmhurst Salt Creek Forest Preserve is a beautiful green space with the Salt Creek Greenway meandering alongside the water. Keep an eye out for the vibrant Baltimore orioles and eastern bluebirds that can be spotted perched in the oak trees, and if you're lucky, you'll catch a glimpse of the giant largemouth bass swimming in the creek.
