Des Plaines River Bike Trail, Illinois
Photo Page 4

Sorry for the order on this one... Although this is photo page 4, this is the southern end of our trip (still the northern part of the DPR trail) starting at Route 22 in Half Day and going north (now) to Independence Grove (Libertyville). This is the entrance right by the Egg Harbor and Flatlanders restaurants.

I got lucky here and caught this shot of a deer about 4 feet from the trail...

I was able to zoom in and get this before he ran off...

This part of the trail is very wooded and shady...

... interspersed with some open area too...

Here's a view of the Des Plaines River, from one of the many bridges on the trail.

I know this image is not readable online, but this is where the Wright Woods trail splits off from the DPR trail... If you want to do a few more miles, take this cut off. It is a beautiful wooded (and very shady) area.

Note: Des Plains is a common mis-spelling for Des Plaines (with the e near the end) so will will see some references to Des Plains River Trail on these pages to help with the searches for the trail pages.
