The Millennium Trail Photos
Fairfield Road to Sutton Road

On the west side of the Fairfield Road underpass there is a convex mirror to help riders see what is coming. I haven't seen that on many other trails but I think it's a great idea that could be used at many blind spots (it probably requires funding that is not available not though :-( ).

This is the Millennium Trail sign where the trail curves to the right and starts to head more north than west. This is in the Lakewood Forest Preserve on the other side of Fairfield Road (the west site) before you cross route 176.

Here's a section of the trail were it comes out of the woods and into the open prairie lands. This is the part of the trail that is north of route 176. You need to cross route 176 at the light (there is no bridge or underpass) and there is a lot of loose gravel just before you get to the intersection. I made it through OK but I can see how you could easily slip on the gravel and end up on the ground.

It's a little shaded in the photo but there is another bench on the right if you need to take a break on the trail.

This is where the Millennium Trail connects with a small trail (on the left) just before Bonner Road as you curve off to the right.

This is a little mostly shady area just after you cross Bonner Road and before you go off into the woods again.

There is a very "old growth" tree on the right here (this tree is huge!) with the trail, fence and flowers to the right of it.

I tried to capture how these purple flowers looked in the sunlight as they grew through the fence rails next to the bike path.

Just past the flowers and fence is a small wooded area and nice break as you go downhill.

This is the view as you come up to Sutton Road and a small neighborhood.
