Cool. I know Tower Rd, right at Field's BMW on 94. I live just off Sheridan Rd in the city, but I've never driven it up that far. I'll have to check it out.
I cycle up there quite a bit, there is some fun stuff around the lagoon, a bit near Chicago botanical garden. A couple of things though:

-Lots of Forest Preserve officers
-Be careful with people enjoying a leisurely cycle / recreation activities
