Walk, run or ride. Always a great trail. And you can access the Lincoln Marsh from it. That is worth the trip.

Actually, my walk isn't just in Wheaton, I live in Lombard and like to take a walk there and back just before dinner.... when I have the time.

I have walked, biked and run on the Prairie Path for 30 years. In just a few quick steps you can leave the suburban sprawl and feel you've gotten away. This is especially true the further west you go. If you like to see birds, the path near the Lincoln Marsh is great, as well as the Geneva spur west of Winfield Road.

I started at the very begininng of this trail near the end of the Forest park Cta station the first half of the trail winds through industrial and busy highways but you are always near a stop light to cross. eventually you get into the prarie and wooded part of the trail but always near a town to hop on and off it. great for biking and hiking. Can connect to the salt creek trail as well as the great western trail and fox river trail as its all part of the grand illinois trail thats a 500 plus mile trail around northern illinois

My wife and I enjoy the path as a way of exercise and enjoyment. I have taken many photos there for years, and enjoy the way one may get good exercise
