The Old Plank Road Trail is a 22-mile paved rail-trail that provides a scenic connection among several Illinois towns, including Joliet, New Lenox, and Chicago Heights. The trail not only serves as a recreational pathway but also connects to the Thorn Creek Trail system, enhancing outdoor experiences in the region.
This trail is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, with sightings of bald eagles, egrets, and herons, particularly within the Dewey Helmick nature preserve. Additionally, the Friends of the Old Plank Road Prairies actively engage in conservation efforts, fostering a diverse natural environment for both residents and visitors alike.
