The Salt Creek Trail is a set of public trails across multiple suburbs surrounding Chicago, Illinois in the US.[1][2]
Background
[edit]Frequent intersections do pose a threat to path users. These intersections are clearly signed both to path users and motorists. It also serves as a route for bicycle, skateboard and personal transporter commuters. The trail mostly follows the Salt Creek River, a tributary of the Des Plaines River.[2][3]
History
[edit]As of 2023, Villa Park is working on a Tri-Trail connector project which will connect the trail with both the Illinois Prairie Path and Great Western Trail.[4] The project was completed in 2024.[5]
