Millennium Trail (Volo)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is the south end of the Millennium Trail; this portion of trail also passes through Wauconda before ending in Mundelein. If you want to, you can connect this end of the trail with the northern segment by pedaling through Round Lake Area Park, but the rougher surfaces there might not be friendly for skinny tires.
