Algonquin Road Trail and Crabtree Trail - Photos 9
From Palatine to Penny Road, South Barrington and through Crabtree

(click on any of the bike trail photos to enlarge)

I have had to add this section due to the 2009 extent ion to the trail here at Penny Road.

This is the new part of the trail just past Penney Road.

This part of the trail is really quite nice.

The grass has not come in in these photos yet.

It's mostly open in this section with small trees in the background.

Here's a small pond along the trail.

A very straight section just before Palatine Road.

And here's the new trailhead (or trailtail in this case) at Palatine Road.

As you can see it's called "Old Stover Trailhead"

...and is directly across from Crabtree Nature Center on Palatine Road.

I was going to tour the nature center but came across this sign which include no bikes! I hate when places get so carried away with rules!!! ("sign, sign everywhere a sign...")

I hope you've enjoyed the photo tour of the Algonquin Road bike trail!

The photo tour below is the new Paul Douglas Loop from early spring of 2009. The trail had just been completed but the grass on the shoulders of the trail had not come in yet (it looks greener and nicer now).
