The DuPage River Trail is a multi-use paved trail designed for non-motorized public use. This nine-mile trail is being completed gradually in five segments. Once completed, the trail will extend from Burr Oak Park to 115th Street.
The DuPage River Trail was first conceived in a 1992 intergovernmental agreement between the City of Naperville, the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County and the Naperville Park District. In 1997, the Naperville City Council affirmed the City's commitment to the completion of the trail when it was officially adopted as part of the City's Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan.
