An elevated rail trail that runs 2.7 miles from Bucktown to Humboldt Park, converting an abandoned rail line into one of the best urban walks in the Midwest. You're above street level the whole way — eye-level with second-floor apartments, treetops, and murals. It's Chicago's answer to the High Line, but quieter, longer, and flanked by real neighborhoods instead of luxury condos.
Insider tip
Enter at the Walsh Park trailhead in Bucktown and walk west toward Humboldt Park. The sunset from the Humboldt Park end is spectacular.
