Biking & Walking in West Chicago

Over 80% of DuPage County residents live within an 8-minute bike ride of our regional trail system. If you want to drive to a trail, there are parking lots close to trail heads and in most forest preserves.

In collaboration with the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County has created an application that provides locations of trails, bikeways, restrooms, parking and much more. Visit the DuPage County website for more information.
