Use the Illinios Prairie Path on any or all of its 62 miles.  Check HERE for a map of the path.
Monday, September 30th, 2013 is the 50th Anniversary of the proposal to establish the Illinois Prairie Path as the 1st Rail-to-Trail in the United States.

Enjoy any or all of the 62 miles of the Illinois Prairie Path while celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Path.  Some suggested activities include: take a bike ride, run or walk; set up an easel just off the path & paint or draw a picture; look for wildlife & their tracks; take pictures of wildflowers & trees; sit next to the path and read or write, or walk to your favorite restaurant or picnic spot using the path.
