Ed Note: While it is not clearly marked, it appears that the yellow lines are Schaumburg Bike Trails and the red lines are Palatine's bike routes. It appears that the solid is a designated trail and the dotted appears to be more of a bike route.
Rider's Comments: The Palatine Park District has done a great job on this path. Lots of changes in terrain and a good length make this a pleasant path. It also connects to Harper College and the Deer Grove preserve. Challenging but not impossible!
