  • 3. Illinois Prairie Path Wheaton
    The Illinois Prairie Path is a network of 61 miles of bicycle trails, mostly in DuPage County, Illinois. Portions of the trail extend west to Kane County and east to Cook County. Most of the trail is categorized as rail-to-trail, meaning that the bicycle path is built atop an old railroad right of way. In the case of the Prairie Path, the vast majority of its routing runs on the former right-of-way of the Chicago Aurora and Elgin Railroad.

In August 2008, it was inducted into the Rails-to Trails hall of fame.
