45 Minute Gravel Ride around Waterfall Glen (Clockwise) | Best Crushed Limestone Trail in Chicago
Watch it in 4K, full screen, and headphones for the best experience.
Waterfall Glen Counterclockwise here: ua-cam.com/video/diC4SvGPw-U/v-deo.html
Today we ride Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve's crushed limestone trail clockwise. Waterfall Glen's trail is located in DuPage County, Illinois between the towns of Darien and Lemont, southwest of Chicago.
This video features no music, only the binaural audio recorded during the ride. I go through great lengths to get quality ambient sounds, but if that's not your thing, feel free to listen to your own music and podcast while you ride along.
The goal of this channel is to record and document trails and bike rides so you can use it to plan your ride or ride along with me indoors in your stationary exercise bike or Peloton at home. Or... You can kick back, relax, and enjoy the scenery and sounds. I’ve heard some people like to play my videos in the background as some sort of ASMR.

lakefront Trail is my fav one :) The Bike Girl has very good Endurance!!Usually I Bike three times a week sometimes to 46 Str. You did very good Job w Go Pro !!!!Great Work:)
It looks like a neutral profile in GoPro, which is good. Sound is quite well protected from wind contamination, which is also not so easy. But using 24 fps with an action camera capable of 60-that's truly beyond my understanding. Yesterday, we biked to the Botanic Garden and slightly beyond, which made close to 60 miles/100km roundtrip from UIC/Little Italy. It was quite windy to go there up North. But I did not take my GoPro.
Love the city and this makes my indoor ride enjoyable ❤
#onYourLeft
It's nice with a biker in front of the camera. 🎉
As much as I hate it and love to insult it, I must make one exception: This bike path doesn't hold a candle to beautiful Fairmont Park in Philadelphia.
Also, what’s the name of this trail?
Where could I park my car if I’m going from Chicago and take the trail on my bicycle?
Are electric scooters allowed in those trails?
what camera is this
Awesome views and ride however all that congestion with joggers and other cyclists would make me too nervous
Nice ride ! I need to get a hitch for my car and take my bike down to the lakefront.
I rode the old dirt Indian Trail along the river most of the time. To and from Triton College when I lived in Oak Park !
Hey Cynical! I just learned about the Bike the Drive event in Chicago. I just watched your video from 2022 and that has me even more excited to attend. I'm registered for this year's event and hope to see you and some other UA-cam celebrities out there. Lol! I'm going to be staying at the Marriott Marquis because it's close to the event. Instead of parking, I'm going to ride my bike to the event from my hotel. Do you have any helpful tips about the event? I think the lodging and knowing where the event is taking place is half the battle. I look fwd to hearing from you. I love your videos!! 👊🏾
Chicago and surrounding counties have the best biking trails and thanks.
Beautiful lakefront, ugly politicians.
Where is the start? What town?
This video began in Crystal Lake, Illinois.
If you're local the heads of the Fox River Trail are in Oswego and Algonquin which is approximately 38 miles one-way. Slightly before downtown Algonquin the Fox Trail transitions into the Prairie Trail which ends in Crystal Lake. If you ride the Fox Trail - Prairie Trail from start to finish from Oswego to Crystal Lake (vise-versa) its about 45 miles one-way. You can easily do a century ride on this trail round trip but you will just have to take a slight detour to add the extra 10 miles. It can take up anywhere from 4 - 8 hours to complete if you're riding at 12-15mph average depending rather its a one-way or round trip.
I grew up on the Fox River trail in East Dundee. The stretch of trail from Forest Park to Wisconsin is still my favorite I've ever ridden. Thanks for taking us along.
How long is the trail
@0:16 it tells you but not sure if it’s one way or round trip
How are you controlling the wind noise so well?
With a thin sock and a wind muff known as “dead cat” covering the microphone
You seem to have much nicer trails than us in Milwaukee.
4:30 It looks like there used to be overhead wires for an electric railroad.
Noce vid...where does the trail start????
Made this ride to work for almost a decade, one of the best views and rides
Great ride.Felt like I was there!
Beautiful path > such a shame the state is run by democrats
Do u use a go pro? If so wat are ur settings .??
When it's January and my entire coat is blowing up above my head, wondering why I still haven't moved after 49 years living here, I'll come back and watch this video and smile like a kid. ❤ I love this city.
May just go do the real thing…
Also everyone riding home from work in work attire is cool
3:41 best part…..passing cops riding bicycles talking about salads……..hahaha😢
Lol
You ride so fast! Scary!
Just did this ride yesterday impulsively with no planning. Longest ride I've ever done including the commute to and from the southern end. VERY tiring but very rewarding and fun.
what camera was this shot on? did you use a stabilizer? great video btw!
I know harms woods more than my backyard. Beautiful place
Wonderful ride! My local trail! I used to ride St Charles to Aurora almost every day in the summer in High School, and still try to do an Oswego > St Charles > Oswego 50 miler every so often.
This is a short ride. Its a bumpy paved trail.... they have been doing some repairs. Acces to lots of stores.
I used to ride along the lakefront every weekend in the summer. Getting too old for it now, but I can watch this awesome video on my tv with headphones to bring back the memories.
Agree the cycling trails around lakes in Bavaria and Lake Zurich although spellbinding, pale when compared to the lakefront in Chicago. Even the smaller riverfront trail in chicago are nice. However its no longer this smooth and one needs to be careful of several uneven patches along the way.
This looks like a game and I love it!
Would love to know how fast you’re going!
The pedaling is unbelievable I wish I could pedal half as long 😢
Great job 👏 ! I can’t wait to ride this in warmer weather! 😊
Thats my usual loop, except i always climb the sled hill. If i have time i usually ride to the wisconsin border. Would be interesting if you ride off road stuff too, like paul douglas, raceway, palos or saweekee.
Add some Chicago House Music to this ride!
Never.
Amazing!!!
New subscriber here. Thanks for the informative videos. I use them to check out trails that I have never ridden or to check out portions of various trails I have yet to ride. Does the gravel portion of the North Branch Trail primarily run adjacent to the paved portion? I have not ridden the North Branch Trail north of Linne Woods yet. Thanks again!
This is amazing!! I used to work at the Adler Planetarium, so I would bike to and from there from Montrose, so this video feels like it was made for me! Granted, Irving Park is closer, but I always feel like a car would hit me just getting to the Lake Front path. The biggest difference I see is that new path around the bridge over the river. I really hated going through the bridge as it was hard to navigate, especially when it was full of pedestrians. I'm glad Chicago made that side trail around it. Thanks a lot for the video and keep up the great work!
Love the ride.
Thank you!
Great video !
Thank you!
hi there, are you Chicago based ?
