Fox River Bike Trail North Photos
Wooded Sections Near the Fox River

There are a few very very short sections of the Fox River Trail that are crushed stone as you head north out of East Dundee however almost all of the rest of the trail is paved. Most of the trail in this area is also very wooded but the photo is one of the open areas where you pass by some nice scenery along the Fox River.

This photo is actually more typical of the scenery along this part of the bike trail. It is very wooded and shady here which makes this trail very nice to ride on those really hot summer days. This is actually one of my favorite bike trails in our area. The only thing that I am not too crazy about is that this trail can get a little congested at peak times and on really nice days so I think it's best to ride this trail at off times (like weekday if possible) or when it is a little colder and there are less people out.

Continuing north, the photo above shows the FRT as it continues through the woods. Since this is one of my favorite trails it was also one of the trails that I photographed and documented on this site first. So as you can tell from the date of my ride below (July 2003), these photos are pretty old. The trail hasn't really changed much over the years (so far) but digital photography has come a long way and these photos leave a little to be desired. I am still planning on upgrading the older photos on the bike trail photo tours so please be patient.

Once again we ride into another short section of crushed stone surface on the trail with an opening and some nice scenery along the river. There are also a few picnic tables here if you want to take a break by the river.
