Bicycling on the Great Western Trail
This 18-mile trail is built on the abandoned mainline
of the Chicago Great Western Railroad. It connects
the communities of St. Charles and Sycamore.
The St. Charles trail head is on Dean Street just
west of Randall Road. The surface is crushed limestone.
The trail passes through forest areas and long
stretches of open farm land. We enjoyed it immensely.
