While the kiosk signage doesn't reflect it, the trail is back open to Northern high school. Hopefully this will be updated very soon.

The Bill Craft trail is closed?

Actually the trail seems to be just fine. The map at Plainfield Road is out of date by two years and shows the trail ending at the loop. Evidently people were getting lost beyond the loop. The county decided to close the trail until they can fix the map. I think they've been trying to fix this map for over a year.

Call the county parks and rec department and ask them to reopen the trail.

We apologize for the incorrect signage at the Plainfield Rd. trailhead. It has been pointed out to the County numerous times. We hope it will be corrected soon. The trail goes 3.5 miles north all the way to the back of Northern High School.
