Background

Frequent intersections do pose a threat to path users. These intersections are clearly signed both to path users and motorists. It also serves as a route for bicycle, skateboard and personal transporter commuters. The trail mostly follows the Salt Creek River, a tributary of the Des Plaines River.^{[2] [3]}

History

As of 2023, Villa Park is working on a Tri-Trail connector project which will connect the trail with both the Illinois Prairie Path and Great Western Trail.^[4] The project was completed in 2024.^[5]
