The Brown Trail is aptly named. The north end is quite often used for horseback riding. You must yield to the horses and give them plenty of room, as they may be spooked easily. When you encounter a horse, it is advisable to stop and ask permission to pass, and then do so slowly.
Brown Trail is a 4 mile less popular white gravel path trail located near Palos Hills Illinois. This mountain bike primary trail can be used both directions and has a easy overall physical rating with a 301 ft green climb. On average it takes 14 minutes to complete this trail.
