The Village of Grayslake has over 20 miles of trails connecting throughout the Village and into the Village Center. The trails make great options for walking, biking, rollerblading and more.

Grayslake’s bike trails are an integral part of our neighborhoods, parks, and Village Center, as they provide an alternative to auto-use creating sustainability benefits locally. In addition to local connectivity, the trail system allows for access to larger, regional trails including Lake County Forest Preserve trails such as the Des Plains Trail which links to the broader Chicagoland area.

 If you live local, plan your trip to the Village Center from your home via trails, or park in the Village Center and experience the trail system connectivity.
