Confirmed from Lakefront Trail - 67th Street's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Lakefront Trail - 67th Street
“It’s beautiful, and early morning walks where you catch the sunrise are absolutely the best.”
Beautiful place to walk and clear your mind, by yourself or with that special person"! I love it!
One of my favorite parts about the city is being able to walk along the lakefront. It’s beautiful, and early morning walks where you catch the sunrise are absolutely the best. You’ve got the lake, a harbor nearby, and a beach not that far away.
Only place in Chicago you can "walk on water" at. Great for photo shoots. Awesome views of the lake and city.
🏆USA Top Rated Trail Walking, running, Biking absolutely on on the best trails in the US. Its where the big boys come to play. The trail is a must see in Chicago.
