Confirmed from Lakefront Trail - Dusable Harbor - 150 N'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.

★★★★★ — Krishan , Oct 2020

My favorite part about living in Chicago. I love jogging or biking on the trail. I recommend early mornings or later in the evening as mid morning commuters and trail enthusiasts can make it rather hectic at times.

★★★★★ — Joe , Jul 2019

A nice trail system along Lake Michigan. The day we walked this trail Lake Michigan had been building a lot of fetch due to a strong north east wind that was running down the length of the lake. There were waves in the 10 to 12 foot range. The trail is flat and easy to use.

★★★★★ — Stephen , Aug 2019

One of the nicer stretches of the Lakefront Trail. Open views of the water, boats in the harbor, and the skyline nearby make it feel lively without being overwhelming. Well maintained and pleasant for walking or biking.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
