The Millennium Trail Photos
Fall Scenery and One Mile Loop

This is the small wooden bridge just before a fairly steep hill on the Millennium Trail. This bridge is west of the Davis Lake area (shown in the previous photo page (#7)) and is part where the trail loops through the woods and around one of the other lakes in the forest preserve.

This is another colorful section in the Lakewood Forest Preserve part of the MT. The photo above is from the steep hill just after the bridge in the previous photo.

Just before the bridge between the two sections of Davis Lake once again is where I found this fall color scenery

This is one of the lakes on the Millennium Trail with some nice fall colors in the background. There is a fork in the trail here and I explored the other leg of the trail on this ride. the leg that goes around the lake does not go very far but it is nice to see the other side of the lake (especially if you are out here for fall photos).

As I took the trail that goes around this lake I saw the scene for the photo above. There was really a nice contrast in the fall colors here with the reddish, brownish weeds and cat tails, the dark colored lake and some bright green plants that have not changed yet.

The sun was just about to set over the trees on the left of this photo which really brought out the colors in the trees, plant life and lake.

As I was riding back to where I had parked I noticed how the leaves in the trees above seemed to glow. The trees in the photo above caught some of the last of the sunlight to show off their bright yellow leaves.

And finally, one last splash of color before I rode through the Millennium Trail woods and back to my car. Even though it was a little late in the season I was still able to catch some beautiful autumn colors on the Millennium Trail.
