Chicago Lakefront Trail, 18.5-mile-long trail in Chicago
The Chicago Lakefront Trail is a path that runs along Lake Michigan's waterfront, connecting different neighborhoods across the city. The route passes parks, beaches, and open spaces where people walk, run, and bike throughout the day.
The trail was created in the late 20th century to open the lakefront to the public. Over time, it was expanded and improved to serve more visitors and connect additional areas along the water.
The trail is open year-round and requires no special equipment to access. Wear comfortable shoes and prepare for changing weather, as conditions can shift quickly near the water.
