Built along an abandoned elevated rail line, The 606—also known as the Bloomingdale Trail—stretches 2.7 miles across several Northwest Side Chicago neighborhoods. This vibrant greenway serves as an open-air park and transportation corridor for walkers, runners, and bicyclists. Visitors can enjoy local public art installations, scenic city views, and direct access to street-level neighborhood parks along the route.
Expert notes
- It is a unique way to enjoy the beauty of Chicago and its neighborhoods. During winter, the path might be unusable due to heavy snowfall. Great for biking, skateboarding, rollerblading, running, and walking. People can also bring their dogs. The best way to get to the 606 is by public transportation.
