While many city-dwellers are setting their sights on the opening of the long-awaited 606 trail, there’s another multi-use trail that spans 28 miles, and it’s opening this weekend too. The Calumet-Sag Trail (dubbed the Cal-Sag Trail) has been a work in progress for south-suburban hikers and bikers for over a year and will mark its official opening with a celebration Saturday. The route connects 14 communities throughout Chicago’s southland and provides access to several forest preserves and natural areas.
