Hidden Lake
It's close, uncrowded, and perfect for trail runs under 6mi
Orange Loop = 1.0mi
Red Loop = 0.8mi
Purple Conct = 0.2mi
(Yellow Loop = 0.2mi)
(Alternating Orange and Red causes to run slightly over due to the connector length)
Herrick Lake - 4 mile loop
This is by far my favorite trail route; section in the popular forest preserve is short, followed by wide trails through the cool forest and prairie lands.
Start at bridge; a full loop through the first 2 sections totals 3.95mi
Blackwell Forest Preserve - 4 mile loop
