About this event
Bike the Green Bay Trail—Wilmette to Highland Park - Sunday, June 6, 2021
The 9-mile Green Bay Trail runs parallel to Chicago's Metra commuter rail line north of the Chicago city limits. Stretching through North Shore towns of Kenilworth, Winnetka, Highland Park and Lake Bluff, the corridor is flanked by restaurants, shops, community parks and beautiful homes. Because the trail stays generally within a mile of Lake Michigan, you can take any number of on-road side trips for beachfront views of the lake.
The Green Bay Trail runs along the east side of Chicago's Metra Union Pacific North line (UP-N commuter rail) almost entirely along the route of the former Chicago, North Shore & Milwaukee (CNS&M) interurban electric railroad, from Greenleaf Avenue in downtown Wilmette to the junction of Saint John’s Avenue & Sheridan Road at the southern edge of downtown Highland Park.. Those who want more mileage can continue west & north onto the Skokie Valley Trail. More details will be given the morning of the ride.
Where/When: Meet at Wilmette Metra Station at 10:00 AM .
