Recently Added Grayslake Bike Trails Included on Updated Map

Submitted by the village of Grayslake

Village officials report that an updated bike trails map for Grayslake is now available. 

These updated maps are available for free in pocket size at the Grayslake Village Hall, 10 S. Seymour Avenue, as well as online at www.villageofgrayslake.com. Maps are also posted throughout the Village’s bike path system in the several bike trail kiosk locations.

Mayor Rhett Taylor commented, “The Village bike trails map features one of the most comprehensive community trail systems in the region. Links to paths of the Lake County Forest Preserve and the Grayslake Park District help create an outstanding biking and walking experience. The system also connects to the Liberty Prairie Conservatory’s connection to the Des Plaines River Trail, a 40 mile link to the Chicagoland area.”

The new bike trails map features recently added trails such as the Forest Preserve’s new Millennium Trail (near Rollins Road) and the extension of the Millennium Trail north of the Rollins Savannah. Also, the trails map includes a bike path to be constructed this year on the south side of Washington Street from Atkinson Road to Lancer Lane.

The new map details major sidewalk connections to various paths throughout the Village’s comprehensive trail system. It also features several points of interest such as

the Village Center including several community amenities (Aquatic Center, Senior Center, Heritage Center, Skate Park, Community Garden, and the Grayslake Library).
