Access Issue: RailRoad, Forest Preserve and IDOT property. Details

I've had a few forest ranger encounters, but once they realize your not spray painting and you have all this climbing gear with you they just tell you to stay safe.

Description

This small area is packed full of problems on both the East & West Side of the river.
-The railroad bridge have spots to boulder, sport climb, and top rope
- The Stearns road bridge has 8-12 Routes

Getting There

You can Park at the Jon J Duerr Forest Preserve and take the bicycle trail towards Elgin.
You can Park at Seba Park and take the bicycle trail towards St.Charles.
The quickest way would be to park on Hancock Ave, walk along Rt.31 until the bridge, go under the bridge and follow the train tracks.
There is a closer parking spot on the East Side, but it's still under construction and closed to the public.
