Naperville Cycling Routes

Explore Naperville on a connected web of cycleways that link parks, neighborhoods, and the Riverwalk. This collection focuses on dedicated paths, so it’s great for relaxed spins, family rides, or low-stress commutes around town.

Expect mostly smooth, paved surfaces with a few short stretches of gravel and occasional boardwalk sections near the river and wetlands. The terrain is mostly flat with gentle rollers, making it friendly for all levels. You can stitch together loops to hit green spaces, the DuPage River corridor, and community spots without spending much time in traffic.

Tips: watch for pedestrians on shared paths (especially by the Riverwalk), use a bell at blind corners, and mind occasional road crossings. Wider tires are helpful if you plan to include the gravel bits, but not required. Easy to ride year-round when clear, and perfect for everyday miles close to home.
