in Lincolnshire or Deerfield, just off the DPR (Des Plaines River Trail)
you can go north to Independence Grove or hook up with the North Shore Trail to Wisky
or south towards the city.

The shopping and eating around Milwaukee Ave is great.

Bob Chin's, Cheesecake Factory, Wildfire, Flatlander's Brewery, Big Bowl, much more. Marriott Lincolnshire for a show. All within riding distance of the trail head (behind Egg Harbor on Rt 45 & 21)
