Big Marsh is a park for the people, by the people – and that means we need your help! Find out how you can support Big Marsh today by checking out one of the links below.
In the last two years, Big Marsh has seen the opening of new asphalt pump tracks, the Ford Calumet Environmental Center, and nearly 4 miles of multi-use and single track trails!
“Friends…” Trails & Connections campaign will create the most exciting gravity trails in the city and connect regional bikeways from the Pullman National Monument District to the William Powers State Recreation Area at Wolf Lake.
Big Marsh is more than a bike park: it’s a piece of land whose history tells the story of the midwest, an exciting example of eco-recreation in urban areas, a centerpiece of the ongoing economic developent in the southeast side of Chicago, and more!

Located just 30 minutes outside of the Loop in Chicago, Big Marsh is a great place to visit and enjoy nature! Big Marsh is in the Calumet Corridor, it is a little bit “off the grid” feeling for the city. You can enter only at 103rd Street and Doty Road, or at 122nd Street and Torrence Avenue.
