Willow Springs Illinois Road Bike Rides
The entire stretch of the I M Canal State Trail is 61 miles. It runs from Joliet to La Salle, though some parts are for hiking. The portion in Joliet and closest to Chicago is a popular after work ride during warmer months. The trail consists of two loops, with the parking lot located close to dead center.
fake Michael Kors The first loop of the trail is a bit shorter and in better condition. As the path twists and turns, the canal comes in and out of view. Be on the lookout for slow moving walkers behind bends. The last leg of your journey is even straighter. If you’ve still got it in you, here is the time to perspire or cherish your last sight of trees and water on each side. Things to see: I M Canal.

I was on a 170+ mile bike ride from Chicago to
wholesale Michael Kors handbags outlet Peoria and rode almost all of the trail starting at Willow Springs and hopping on and off all the way to La Salle. I ran into just enough riders to get trail information and work arounds parts of the trail were a bit washed out but there were not so many
cheap Michael Kors handbags riders that you’d feel crowded. This was my first time on the trail and it offers some lovely water views, wildlife and history worth investigating. There are parts of the trail that would be better on a mountain bike but my hybrid did a great job.
Best day on the I Canal Trail
michael kors handbags outlet yet. Great herons and even a white egret greeted
Michael Kors handbags outlet us as we peddled 14 miles on a there and back again bicycle trek. The weather was ideal with a mostly sunny and low humidity late afternoon. We usually ride early mornings but a church picnic pushed our ride later. I’m
Michael Kors outlet surprised at how un crowded the towpath is. It is such a perfect place for easy riding. Captured several perfect photos of the green arched canopy that covers much of the trail. From Morris, Illinois east towards Joliet is our usual route and today we pushed a few miles further to see what we’ve been missing by only doing 10 miles. I’m glad we did. On Saturdays all summer long there is a small Farmer’s Market in Morris, less than a mile from the parking area for the tow path on Rt 47 north. Sweet corn and raspberries!
While I admit that the portion of the I M trail near Willow Springs is not breathtaking and is sometimes crowded, you really need to to try the rest of the I canal trail as it beelines west from Joliet. The former canal towpath has
cheap Michael kors handbags outlet many historic sites, interesting towns and sometimes awesome scenery of the Des Plaines and Illinois river. It is FULL of wildlife cranes, herons, and birds plus loads of tutrtles sunning themselves on the logs within the canal. I have
Michael Kors handbags been doing a portion at a time, and there is little traffic except at some parks along the way.Articles Connexes:
