Des Plaines River Trail Photos
North of Lake Street

The photo above is from when I got back on to the main Des Plaines River Trail again after taking the side trip to Beck Lake. These photos were from early October and my goal, in addition to documenting more of the trial, was to show how colorful this part of the trail is in the fall.

This is a fairly scenic part of the trail that is just north of Euclid/Lake Street where I started my fall ride and photo tour. I was heading north at this point (the previous photos in this set were south of Euclid/Lake).

In the fall, this is a beautiful and colorful part of the Des Plaines River Trail. This photo is from just north of Euclid/Lake Street but both sides of Euclid/Lake are heavily wooded and very colorful in the fall. I parked at the Camp Pine Woods forest preserve which is accessible from Euclid just east of the Des Plaines River (on the south side of Euclid).

There is a little area here where the geese and ducks like to hang out. The contrast in colors seemed interesting.

Here's another leaf covered stone bridge just north of Euclid/Lake Street. This was also a very colorful part of the trail at this time of year. This is not far from the other forest preserve parking area that is north of Euclid.

This is actually on a little dirt (mountain like) side trail just off the main Des Plaines River Trail. I thought this was an interesting low view of some of the path and the fall colors.

I didn't actually ride very far on this particular trip for the fall photos just a few miles south and a few miles north of Euclid/Lake Street but as you can see from the links below, the Des Plaines River Trail covers many, many miles and spans multiple counties. Although I like this wooded part of the trail near Euclid there are also some excellent places for fall photos along this trail in Lake County. I hope to get up there soon for some additional fall color photos.
