There are places where this trail connects to other bike trails and it is possible to take a fork in the wrong direction. We accidently took a fork in the trail the wrong way (further north of here) and ended up on the Illinois Prairie Path for a few miles before we realized our mistake. There is a sign at the intersection but we rode by fast and it was getting dark so we missed it. (FYI, the intersection and sign are at the bottom of Photo Page 7 of this photo tour)
Kyaks and Canoes are a familar sight on the
Fox River in some locations (like in this area near Geneva).
The trail crosses a number of roads as you pass through Geneva. Some are low traffic but there are a few fairly busy roads to cross here so you will need to stay alert and may need to stop and wait for traffic at times.
Here's the Fox River Trail photo tour (south to north) from Geneva, Illinois (heading north) to Dundee Illinois, September 2007.
