Lockport And Homer Glenn

[bk1978]

There are some pretty nice trails in homer glen that go as far back to lemont and lock port passed the highway!!Lots of straight aways and some nice homemade jumps. This trail go's under the power lnes most of the way, have not seen any probs with cops except when you hit area with lots of people around. For the most part its a good ride when you dont feel like driving far. Its anywhere down 159th by bell road in lockport/homerglenn

where do you park the trucks????

 

[tyler2277]

well where i went it was just a forest perserve so i just parked there and went in through the ropes then and rode until i found the trails i had pictures of, found a lot of weird sh*t back there tho, like an old international scout, and old tire iron and sh*t like that, some creepy woods with skinny trails too, but it was fun plan on goin back when its warm out, hope i dont get caughtI:I

If your on lemont rd. just south...i mean just south of bluff rd a few yards there is a ramp on the right which leads under the big bridge. Take that right down the ramp , do not go thru under the bridge rather stay straight. You will see a bicycle path and a nice dirt ROAD alongside the path . Drive down this dirt road about a mile or two . You will come to a bridge on right and you soon will not be on a smooth road anymore but still driveable another mile or so it opens up wide . There is nothing there but barges and trees on either side. Its a playground for atvs. I would park at this wide spot because it will soon become hard to drive on with a car or truck. Lots of people out there a couple weeks ago. Small quads and big. The road that im talking about will follow thru almost to 159th near refinerys nice jumps down near there. All this is between canal and powerlines. DNR drove thru there last time and everyone was freaking out. They turned around left without saying a word.
