The Scene on the 606 Trail

Along The 606 trail, it's a parade of people and pets, bikes and trikes, skateboards and strollers.

This pedestrian path is a flurry of movement and a mix of sounds. Take in the sights, from viaducts covered in graffiti art to downtown skyscrapers on the horizon.

The 606 trail passes through 4 Chicago neighborhoods (Wicker Park, Bucktown, Logan Square and Humboldt Park) and 3 zip codes - 60642, 60622 and 60647. Real estate along the 606 trail has been booming and homeowners within 1/2 mile of the 606 trail have seen a tremendous increase in property values since the 606 trail opened in 2015.

With plans on the horizon to extend the 606 trail east to the Chicago River into the new Lincoln Yards development, homeowners can expect even further increases in their property values over the next 5 to 10 years.

The eastern end point is Ashland Avenue (1600 West) and the western end point is Ridgeway Avenue (3750 West).

Get Around The 606 Trail

The car-free, multi-use pathway takes all non-motorized modes of transportation so thumbs up to bicycles, strollers, wagons, skateboards and roller blades too. Divvy bike stations are parked nearby if you want a rental. Get here by walking if you are a lucky local living nearby, otherwise the Blue Line 'L' train stations at Damen and Western are the nearest stops.
