Burnham Greenway

This is a great trail that starts at 100th & Ewing to the north (along 41). The greenway goes through Eggers Grove and right to Wolf Lake. It transitions into the Pennsy Greenway to the south with a couple mile break in the middle because of the railyard.

It's usually in great shape when I ride it. I am also friends with a treekeeper who is leading an effort to plant trees up and down the path for the past 5~10 years or so. People who live next to the path are asked to adopt the trees, which means watering (needed especially when young) and general maintenance and everybody benefits!

I will post in here when I hear of efforts to plant more trees/beautify.
Also, this is a good place to post info about the condition of the trail.
