This is an absolutely beautiful trail that I am surprised isn't used more. I love the scenery and the mural dedicated to who the the trail is named after. A portion of it crosses the Little Calumet River and winds through the Whistler Woods Forest preserve. What keeps it from 5 stars is unclear signage showing where the trial continues in some areas. Overall, the trail is beautiful.
