The Fox River Trail runs 39 miles from Oswego in the south to Algonquin in the north. I traversed this trail on a bike from North Aurora to Batavia covering a distance of about 8 miles (one way). The trail is asphalt paved and passes through a variety of scenes covering community parks, forest preserves, rivertown downtowns, residential backyards, and past dams on the Fox River. The trail crosses between both east and west banks of the river and at certain places both banks of the river have trails. Small sections through downtown areas are on streets. Some interesting stops along the way are: Red Oak Nature Center, Batavia Depot Museum, Fabyan Forest Preserve (including the Windmill), Peace Bridge and the Historic Piano Factory Bridge. Much of the trail is shrouded on both sides by greenery. Intersection with major roads and rail tracks is avoided by either the trail going under or over. Unavoidable road crossings have adequate caution/stop signs. Fox River Trail is great for walking or biking. We get great nature views, artwork views and river views.
