About us
In 2018, a group of hikers created the Chicago Outerbelt Trail that took existing trails in suburbs, The Forest Preserve, CIty of Chicago, and linked them together with neighborhood streets and sidewalks to create a 210 mile loop around our beautiful city.Paths are paved, crushed stone, and unpaved. This group will hike 5 - 7 miles each event at a 2.5 - 3 MPH pace as we make our way around the Outerbelt Trail. No week will be the same as we traverse forests, prairies, walk along rivers, Lake Michigan and see parts of our metropolitan area that most residents don't know exist

We meet at Turtlehead Lake in Orland Park. Head North for a short walk and turn around at 135th. Continue walking South. Last time we were at 143rd and Harlem some members of the group helped out a man who had crashed his bike and stayed with him until the paramedics arrived.
We continue South through the Forest preserve to 151st and Oak Park. This is where we turned around last week.
If you are into ghosts and paranormal after lunch, we can go to Bachelor Grove cemetery which is called the most haunted cemetery in the country. It's located about a mile and a half east of the intersection of 143rd and Harlem.
