Review:

The Chicago Lakefront Trail , commonly referred to as the LFT, is an 18-mile multi-use trail located along the banks of Lake Michigan, connecting the city's four major lakefront parks—Lincoln, Grant, Burnham, and Jackson Parks—to one another. The trail begins at 5800 North Sheridan Road and passes a number of major city attractions along its route, including the Navy Pier, McCormick Place, the Museum of Science and Industry, and the South Shore Cultural Center. Access to a number of city beaches and harbors is also provided, along with city skate parks at Grant Park, Wilson Avenue, and 31st Street. The pet-friendly trail is open to the public 24 hours a day and may be used by walkers, joggers, and cyclists. A new portion of the trail, dubbed the Navy Pier Flyover and designed to reduce traffic at the heavily-congested portion of the trail near the Pier, is scheduled to open in 2019.
