Sauganash Trail

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


The Sauganash Trail is a paved trail in Chicago, Illinois in the United States. It is operated by the Chicago Park District, and runs from West Bryn Mawr Ave to West Devon Ave.[1] There are four official paved entrances at West Bryn Mawr Ave, North Rogers Ave, West Thome Ave, and West Devon Ave. The line was originally part of the Chicago and North Western Transportation Company (C&NW) Railroad as the Skokie Branch and opened in 1924. Service was elevated in 1931 and ceased on December 1, 1958 as part of the plan to close 22 stations in the City of Chicago and the close suburbs by the C&NW. The tracks remained abandoned until 1994 when the tracks were removed. The right-of-way remained abandoned until June 21, 2008 when the trail was dedicated by then Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley.
