03 Lakefront Trail
The Lake Front Trail is an 18.5-mile paved path connecting Chicago's four lakefront parks. It's ideal for walking, skateboarding, cycling, and jogging and provides stunning views of both the city and Lake Michigan. The path passes some of the biggest attractions in the city, including the Navy Pier and several museums, but there are plenty of free things to enjoy, too. Beaches, dog parks, and three skate parks are accessible from the trail.
