Recumbent Ride: Lakefront Trail South

  • Jackson Park 1971 East Hayes Drive Chicago, IL, 60649 United States (map)

Now that the crowds may have lessened, we’ll enjoy riding on the Chicago Lakefront Trail. We’ll meet in Jackson Park at the parking lot at 1971 E. Hayes Dr. on Sunday, Oct. 27 at 9:45 for a 10am departure. It is metered parking, $7 for 4 hours or $13 for up to 9 hours.

We’ll head north to Solidarity Drive, and make a loop around Northerly Island before heading back south to the starting point.

Highlights:

The whole lakefront is a highlight, but viewing the Chicago skyline from this perspective, and riding through the beautifully naturalized sections of the trail is a real treat.
