Tips from locals
Located less than an 11-minute bike ride from our Airbnb, the Chicago Lakefront Trail is a 18.5-mile-long (29.8 km) partial shared use path for walking, jogging, skateboarding, and cycling, located along the western shore of Lake Michigan. The trail passes through and connects Chicago's four major lakefront parks along with various beaches and recreational amenities. It is located wholly within the Chicago city limits and spans from South Side to North Side and runs through Jackson Park, Burnham Park, Grant Park, and Lincoln Park. It also serves as a route for bicycle, skateboard and personal transporter commuters. On busy summer days 70,000 people use the trail. Parking around the trail could be expensive or difficult to find, therefore I recommend parking around the nearby Jackson Park (you may find free street parking in this area).

Nice scenery. Nothing like looking at Chicago’s skyline from Lake Shore Drive.
The Lakefront Trail is great for walking, running and biking. The trail stretches 18 miles down the Chicago lakefront with amazing views of the city, beaches, restaurants/bars and so much more. Closest bike rental location is Lakeshore Bike 3650 Recreation Drive.
