Check out the above Website link to the Rock River National Trail. It combines the opportunity to fly with paddling, biking, hiking, horseback, art, and even chocolate highlights along the 320 mile National Trail. It is the first in the nation to add an aviation route. And it is a great way to go west around Chicago on a beautiful route into Oshkosh. The northern end of the Rock River trail puts you over Horicon Marsh, the largest freshwater cattail marsh in the world; continuing north over it you are right at the NOTAM entry route to Oshkosh.

The Rock River Trail has 10 airports along its route with a mix ranging from grass strip to the scale of Rockford, IL as an O'hare reliever airport. There are great places to eat and to stay. Some of the airports also have camping and you are sure to find some great fuel prices. The natural beauty seen while flying this relaxing route makes the trip even more enjoyable.
