We just did a 64 mile bike ride on the northern end of the Fox River Trail (FRT), starting in Dundee, and including of the McHenry County Prairie Trail (PT) starting in Algonquin and ending in Genoa City Wisconsin, yesterday.

This post is for the conditions on the Prairie Trail. There’s no construction, detours or  other problems on this trail at this time. The trail is mostly crushed stone except for the northern end which becomes more of a dirt road and is pretty rugged.

There are some indentations from horse hooves on part of the trail which makes it a little bit rougher than usual but that is not a long section and it is not all that bad.

FYI: We also branched off on to the Hebron Trail at the northern end of the PT but we only rode that trail for about a mile. The first mile is very loose gravel and not nice to ride on at all.
