Old Plank Road Trail Protect, Preserve and Expand our Green Legacy: Old Plank Road Trail OLD PLANK ROAD TRAIL In the works for years, the 21-mile Old Plank Road Trail into Joliet was finally completed during the Centennial by the Forest Preserve District of Will County. It con- nects to Joliet’s municipal bikeway system, which, in turn, connects to the Illinois & Michigan Canal Trail. This exemplifies the Green Legacy approach by closing a critical gap in the Grand Illinois Trail, thereby giving Joliet and many other neighborhoods and communities new connections to rivers and streams and better ac- cess to nearby forest preserves and parks. The trail passes through rare railroad prairie (Dewey Courtesy of Openlands Helmick Nature Preserve) and a wetland habitat with REGIONAL GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE more than 200 native plants and 160 species of birds.
