Des Plaines River Trail and Greenway - Nature preserve in Wadsworth - 15601 W Russell Rd, USA

This trail is absolutely amazing. It's a dog trail, horse trail, hikers trail, snow scooters, bikes trail! definitely recommended! during winter period trails are also super clean, no mud or dirt . Marley loves it! ❤️🤘🏻

Scenic, beautiful trail! Tried to park near Sterling Lake coming off Russel Road, but couldn’t get to the parking lot. Just a half mile walk to join the Lake loop from that lot with an easy flat walk. Will try from 173 next time, definitely going to return.

A nice big, beautiful, well-mantained loop around the lake! Perfect for getting in a good hike and for seeing wildlife, open sky, wildflowers and more. Trail is very accessible and well-marked.

Well groomed gravel bike and hiking paths. Not uncommon to see equestrian traffic while out on these trails. Total mileage if you take both the Blue and Yellow loops is 5 miles. There are plenty of bathrooms available to to use, green spaces and a playground with nearby pavilions close to the Yellow Loop trail.

Nice place to get out and walk. It's as long or as short as you need it to be. Not a really technical trail, but nice for a little exercise. Watch out for horses!

A good crushed gravel trail. I only stayed on the blue trail.

Lovely trails along the Sterling Lake shore, clearly marked mileage and signs. The gravel path is pretty well maintained, but after heavy rains we encountered some channels and grooves in the gravel. There were signs indicating trail damage, which was nice. Saw cranes and other birds, fish, and turtles.

Really relaxing hike plenty of deer, cranes and wildlife
