We help communities connect to more trails in Illinois. And we work to improve and repair the trails we have.

At stake is only the stewardship of our open spaces, the health of our local economies, and the well-being and happiness of our citizens.

@hennepin100 course measurement ride on the 104-mile Hennepin Canal State Trail. What a beautiful wreck you are.... Or another song reference: this was an 8 ft. path, now it's all covered in daisies. (You got it/you got it)....
A beautiful day spent with the amazing #trailrunning community. #earthday50 @361usa
