Basically, the lakes, rivers and streams in a lot of Illinois are very high or flooding right now.<\/p>\n<p>I know from past experience that if my local trail (the Paul Douglas trail) is flooded, then I&#8217;m sure there is some flooding on the <strong>Des Plaines River Trail<\/strong>(DPRT) too. The DPRT is very close to the Des Plaines river and has highway underpasses that flood pretty often when the river is high.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Fox River Trail<\/strong> (FRT) is mostly up a little higher and away from the river enough to where I have not run into flooding problems on that trail before myself.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll add more updates as I ride these trails, but if any of you out there reading this blog have been out to any bike trails with flooding (or by the rivers that aren&#8217;t flooded), Id really appreciate a comment to this post for updates.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks, Rob.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just took a ride on the Paul Douglas Bike Trail and found that it has flooded once again on the west side along Huntington\/Freeman road.\u00a0This page has some photos and updates if you are interested in the latest conditions &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/about-bicycles.com\/bike-blog\/?p=335\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[18,8],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/about-bicycles.com\/bike-blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/about-bicycles.com\/bike-blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/about-bicycles.com\/bike-blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/about-bicycles.com\/bike-blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/about-bicycles.com\/bike-blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=335"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/about-bicycles.com\/bike-blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":336,"href":"http:\/\/about-bicycles.com\/bike-blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335\/revisions\/336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/about-bicycles.com\/bike-blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=335"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/about-bicycles.com\/bike-blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=335"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/about-bicycles.com\/bike-blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
