Lake Calumet Trail Feasibility Survey

Take our short survey to share your feedback about the trail!

The Active Transportation Alliance is looking for your feedback about a potential new multi-use trail that would connect the Pullman National Monument, Big Marsh Park, and surrounding neighborhoods via Lake Calumet.

Lake Calumet (see map) has played an important role in the history of the area. It now has the opportunity to connect local neighborhoods to Big Marsh Park, the Pullman National Monument, and many other destinations on the south side of Chicago. Improved pedestrian and bicycle access across the lake would also open new access and recreational opportunities along Lake Calumet itself.

This project is a partnership with the Illinois International Port District. Please take and share this 4-minute survey to let us know what you would like to see if a future trail were built over Lake Calumet. Thank you!
