It starts at Caldwell and Devon, about a block away from the Edgewater Metra station. It concludes at the Botanic Gardens - you can enter the Gardens at the south side and ride through there too. I used to ride this path all the time when I lived in Morton Grove years ago. It's really beautiful and shady much of the way so you don't end up with a nasty sunburn. <br />If you're really adventurous, you can continue onto to another path that starts up near Ravinia and heads further north. I continued down that path once and ended up at Waukegan and Rockland Road when I decided it might be in the best interest of my tookus to turn around and head back. <br /><br />Have fun on the paths!<br /><br />Rob WickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
