Fermilab trail description.

The Fermilab Trail garners its name by running though the campus of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), the former home of the Tevatron particle accelerator. The 3.9-mile particle accelerator, which was in use from 1983-2011, was the second largest in the world and was well-known for its 1995 discovery of the top quark.

The trail extends from near both the Warrenville Grove Forest Preserve and Blackwell Forest Preserve in Warrenville to neighborhoods on Batavia’s eastern edge. The campus of Fermilab, which occupies a large plot of land between the two towns, is open to the public from dawn to dusk, and the Fermilab Trail cuts directly through its heart.

The trail also offers a bit of a shortcut between the Aurora Branch and the Batavia Spur of the 61-mile Illinois Prairie Path . The Fermilab Trail meets the Aurora Branch in the east; in the west, travel less than 1 mile south on Kirk Road to reach the Batavia Spur.

Please note: all visitors 18 and older, including those on foot or on bicycle, as well as all adult passengers in vehicles, will be asked to show a government-issued photo ID to access the site. Only REAL ID-compliant IDs will be accepted after May 3, 2023. For more information, check out the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory website  and review the information in the section under ID Requirements. 

Parking and Trail Access

Parking for the Fermilab Trail can be found at the Urban Stream Research Center in the Blackwell Forest Preserve in Warrenville. A large parking lot is located on Slim Beach Road. From there, take the short connector trail over the West Branch of the DuPage River to meet the Fermilab Trail at Batavia Road.

Parking is also available within Fermilab’s campus. Enter from Batavia Road in Warrenville or from Pine Street in Batavia. Visit the TrailLink map for detailed directions.

Fermilab Trail Reviews

FIX YOUR WEBSITE

After arriving on bicycle at the entrance to Fermilab, I was told a real ID or a passport was needed to gain access to the bicycle path. I did have a valid Illinois drivers license. But that was not enough. The website states, in all capital letters: Fermilab Batavia campus now open to the public! But nothing immediately stated with that same comment of the requirement needed to enter. So so so many people drive miles on their bicycle to get to this path. Only to be turned away with no alternate route suggested, and how to connect to the Illinois Perry pants, Parriott , I understand security is not a entertainment Director, so I blame Leah and her website message that is unclear and misleading.

need Real ID¿¿.

ridiculous ride today. trying to get to fox river trail and they wouldn’t let me through because I didn’t have a real ID. I had license - picture of passport and am tsa secure. Security guard had no idea where path lead, a good alternative path, or what any security measure was except I didn’t have a read ID

Need to know info

Note to self. A valid Driver License is a must to get onto the trail.

Open again!

Great path. Some of the roads within Fermilab that used to be accessible are now off limits, so stay on the trail!

still closed

Still closed due to Covid-19. Kind of foolish

Good ride, Kirk Road is a mess

We came thru off of Batavia Rd and was an easy no traffic ride. Easy loop back to Prairie Path Trail. Headed north on Kirk and is under construction and west side bike trail is terrible going up to Faybian Pkwy.

Okay, but could be better

I live near Fermilab and can access it by bike without having to drive over. 99 times out of 100 I probably wouldn't choose this path. Fermi is a huge chunk of land that should offer a far better bike trail in my opinion. As it stands the path that leads you from the west side of the property to the east can be best described as a straight-ish cement/asphalt trail with little more eye candy than the main building itself. They used to house buffalo to the east on their farm but they were moved out years ago. Now all that stands is a farmhouse. Near the east side of the property is a small village but aside from a bathroom and maybe a vending machine, there's nothing of interest here. To get more miles you can veer off on any road in the compound but these take you down gritty asphalt roads without much more fanfair, and a bumpy ride to show for it. There's a lot of potential for a great bike path in here, but I don't think the powers that be want a great deal of folks meandering through. By the way, be prepared to show your ID to get in. That is mandatory.

Nice cut through from Batavia to Wheaton

We enjoyed this trail. We had serpentineed our way from Wheaton to Batavia on the Prarie Path, were a bit tired and seeking a more direct route back. We left the Batavia Spur off the Fox River Trail, cut on a couple of neighborhood streets and entered Fermi on the Western side. (Kirk Rd and Pine Street) we weren't sure we were on a trail, (there was construction at the entrance)...but then we rode through the very interesting Fermi Labs. Nice easy paved trail on the side of the road. The trail took us to Batavia Rd which had a wide sidewalk for riding all the way to Butterfield Rd to pick the Prarie Path back up in Warrenville. A nice reprieve for our sore legs and enjoyable route!

Away from the crowds

I rode my bike on this trail by starting in the Blackwell Forest Preserve, traveling through the Fermilab property and then returning to where I originally parked. (Maybe 8 miles total). The Blackwell Forest Preserve is large and offers wonderful biking trails (I will review that trail separately). I would suggest parking your vehicle in the Blackwell Forest Preserve near the Urban Stream Research Center (also near the Archery range)...follow the signs in the park to find this location. From that parking lot, it is a short ride on a path that cuts through to Batavia road & the main trail. I picked up a map when I entered Blackwell park so it was easy to find where to park and where the trail starts. The trail then proceeds up Batavia Road on a wide sidewalk/trail that runs alongside the road. You are on this part of the trail for maybe 1/2 mile before you enter the grounds to the Fermilab. Once you enter the grounds you are on a well-maintained trail that runs through the property. The scenery is beautiful and the trail is a nice escape from busy traffic. This is a relatively flat trail and the path is in great shape so it is perfect for beginners as well as experienced bikers. I didn't start my ride at the entrance to the Fermilab, but there is parking at the entrance and if you begin your ride there, you avoid the Batavia road stretch. However, the nice thing about starting from the Blackwell Forest is you have access to more trails, restrooms, etc. Over all, a nice trail --- 4-5 star rating.

rollerblading not suggested

I went here because it said "inline skating" under the description of this trail. I went there with my rollerblades and found it incredibly difficult to ride. Lots of cracks, debris on the ground. I have been trying to find a good place to go to but have had no luck yet! I would not suggest it to anyone wanting to rollerblade

I'm not a very experience rider; I like to go at a slower pace and enjoy the scenery/weather. I rode this trail on March 15, 2015, the first Sunday of the year that it broke 60 degrees at around 3:00pm. I always enjoy trails that have little traffic as people will usually pass me, or I will have to pass families with children (just a personal preference that I like to avoid). Positives: + Scenery (loved the barn! I had to stop and watch for a while) + Little traffic + Not so long that I was exhausted by the end + Newly paved path + Easy access from Batavia Rd. Meh: - Felt like I was going to be detained if I veered off the path at all, a lot of "authorized personnel only" signs Definitely will ride again soon! Great first ride of the season.

Newly Paved

Up until recently, I would have to agree with the previous reviews on pavement quality. Much of the trails were paved with fresh asphalt in Aug 2014. It made for a very enjoyable ride. You will see a mix of beautiful prairie and interesting architecture. There is also a herd of buffalo near the barn. Traffic on the weekends is very light.

Trail nearly unridable

I made the mistake of trying the paved trail. The cracks made it a very unpleasant ride. It was so bad that I felt I had no other option than to ride through the grass to follow other bikers I saw on the road. The road for me wasn't bad. It was actually kind of pleasant with little traffic.

Three Part Trail

This trail can be broken into three parts: The first leg goes along Batavia Road. The options are to ride in the street or the sidewalk. Entry was a challenge due to construction on Butterfield Road (OCT2012). The second leg is through the Fermilab campus. It's true that the cracks in the asphalt make this a bumpy ride, but the trail wasn't completely unrideable and it's short (2-3 miles?). The third leg goes along Pine St. to Kirk Rd and is like new.

Very bumpy trail

The asphalt bike trail has deteriorated over the years having bad cracks every 10-20 feet. I've broken numerous spokes riding my bike on this. I've talked to Fermilab numerous times about this but they say they have no money to fix the trail. The alternative is to ride on the narrow road which has generally no shoulder with cars whizzing by at 50 mph!

Fermilab announces new high school student technician apprenticeship and lab engineering innovation support

June 25, 2024

Media contact

• Tracy Marc, Fermilab, [email protected] , 224-290-7803

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory has announced two new initiatives to foster innovation and growth in the engineering and technical communities of the lab. The Office of High Energy Physics, within the Department of Energy’s Office of Science, has granted Fermilab, a DOE laboratory, $2 million to fund these two initiatives over the next five years.

Chief Engineer Mayling Wong-Squires states, “The lab is grateful for the support from the Office of High Energy Physics with the recognition of creative ways to develop the engineering and technical staff.”

The first initiative is a pilot apprenticeship program called Technician Education for Careers out of High School. TECHS will strengthen recruitment of the laboratory’s technicians who are critically important to the lab’s operations and future projects. The apprenticeship will be a talent incubator to nurture future lab technicians by offering summer apprenticeships to local high school students who will be trained on basic electrical and mechanical skills while introducing them to the array of careers at Fermilab.

Students will work at Fermilab for 10 weeks for two consecutive summers. They will be mentored by lab technicians and program teachers on projects that support Fermilab’s scientific mission. Upon completion of the program, students will be qualified and encouraged to apply for entry-level technician positions upon graduation from high school.

Spokespeople for the program will begin reaching out to area schools in the upcoming school year with applications opening in late 2024.

The second initiative is the Fermilab Innovative Design Engineering to Accelerate Solutions program, in which the lab’s engineers are encouraged to pursue new ideas and designs, simple or complex, that can lead to innovative solutions in areas of research and development. IDEAS will support various endeavors that include small-scale prototypes using microgrants, ideas for patents or copyrights, and proposals for the DOE Early Career Research Program .

Lab Director Lia Merminga said, “This timely initiative strengthens technology innovation, a cornerstone of our mission at Fermilab, and enables our engineers to expand the lab’s work in its core capabilities, especially the newest ones: Mechanical Engineering and Systems Engineering.”

More information about each program can be found at the TECHS and IDEAS websites.

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is supported by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy. The Office of Science is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States and is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time.

Yaman Acharya ’26 investigates cosmic energy in astrophysics internship

Yaman Acharya ’26 remembers the evenings he spent as a youth gazing at the night sky above his home in Nepal. The cosmic dance of stars in the constellations hundreds of thousands of miles above him invited his imagination to explore the universe’s wonders.

For Acharya, a physics and mathematics double major, a 2024 Summer Internship in Science and Technology (SIST) for the Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, brings him closer to his goal of pursuing a career in astrophysics research.

Exploring energy in the universe

Acharya was always interested in experiential learning—opportunities to apply what he was learning in the classroom to hands-on investigations. He wanted more of these research opportunities to fulfill his passion for studying dark matter and dark energy. Last fall, he spent his Thanksgiving break creating a spreadsheet containing close to two dozen potential internship possibilities. The internship at Fermilab caught his eye.

“I have dreamed of working at Fermilab since I was interested in physics. It’s one of the dream places for every physicist,” he said, recalling his excitement when he received a letter last winter confirming he had received the summer internship.

Through this internship, Acharya investigates the mysteries of cosmic evolution at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), a particle physics and accelerator laboratory in Batavia, Illinois.

His fellow Fermilab interns and postdoctoral research supervisor at Fermilab, Gabriela Marques, work on the world’s most advanced particle accelerators. Together, they study everything from the smallest building blocks of matter in the universe to data gleaned from sky surveys extracted from large telescopes.

At Fermilab, Acharya is using data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) to work with galaxy density, galaxy weak lensing, and the cross-correlation between galaxy and galaxy weak lensing—referred to as “3x2 points.”

“The latest data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Survey shows that the dark energy content of the universe may be increasing with time,” he explained. “We’re testing the galaxy power spectrum from the increasing dark energy model and seeing how it correlates with the real-time power spectrum obtained from cosmological surveys.”

“The best part about doing astrophysics research is everything you can think of is going on out there. You have to think about every small process that may affect your results.” – Yaman Acharya ’26

Acharya describes his work as very computational, focused heavily on problem solving.

“I have to write a lot of codes from a lot of scripts, analyze a lot of different files, and use observations from surveys,” he said. “I think it [the experience] will be beneficial for higher level physics courses involving topics such as electromagnetism and quantum physics. The best part about doing astrophysics research is everything you can think of is going on out there. You have to think about every small process that may affect your results."

A Career-Ready Experience in cosmology

Acharya was well-prepared for his Fermilab summer internship thanks to Gettysburg College student research experiences with Physics Prof. Ryan Johnson and the Cross-Disciplinary Science Institute (X-SIG) during the summer of 2023.

“He was very interested in my computational cosmology work,” Johnson said, “and, with my guidance, began a project to simulate a universe in a box, within which we could study the motions of galaxies.”

Acharya also acknowledges the help he received from members of the Gettysburg College community and professors who set him up for success by assisting him with internship applications and writing letters of recommendation. These faculty members include Johnson, Physics Chair Bret Crawford , and Mathematics Chair Keir Lockridge . He also credits the academic rigor of his Gettysburg mathematics and physics courses and his on-campus X-SIG research that helped him develop the computational and critical analysis skills he puts into practice daily during his Fermilab internship.

“The Gettysburg Physics Department prides itself on preparing students like Yaman for research positions just like the one he earned at Fermilab,” Johnson said. “In addition to his academic preparation, beginning his research experience in my lab was critical to Yaman securing this very competitive position.”

In addition to student-faculty research , Acharya benefited from serving as a student assistant at the College’s Hatter Planetarium during his first year at Gettysburg. There, he honed his communication skills by presenting planetarium programs for on- and off-campus groups and developed problem-solving skills by conceptualizing new ideas for programming that incorporate concepts from his studies.

Through the Gettysburg Approach , Acharya recognizes how the breadth and depth of knowledge he is acquiring, as well as the enduring skills he is building at Gettysburg and through his summer internship, contribute to his overall liberal arts and sciences education .

“During my first week working here, I was supposed to use a concept I learned last semester called spherical harmonics to study cosmic microwave background radiation, which is the first light from the universe,” he said. “I said, ‘I know this. I have done this, and I’m going to do more of it in my future quantum courses—and I’m working with this in a real-life scenario. That is awesome.’”

Learn how internships and other experiential learning opportunities are available to Gettysburg students through a Career-Ready Experience.

Fermilab Cosmic Physics Center

First on-sky demonstration of skipper ccds.

June 16, 2024 | Alex Drlica-Wagner

The team collected the first astronomical data using Skipper CCDs on the SOAR Integral Field Spectrograph in Chile.

A team led by the Fermilab CCD Group performed the first on-sky demonstration using Skipper CCDs on the SOAR Telescope in Chile. This demonstration helps retire perceived risks for using this technology in future cosmology experiments recommended by the P5 Report such as DESI-II and Spec-S5. This project was a collaborative effort from Fermilab, UChicago, NOIRLab, LBNL, and the Brazilian LNA. Read more about the milestone in a recent press release .

Radio Axion: Tuning in to the Dark Matter Airwaves

Presented by Chelsea Bartram

Register to watch in person in the Kavli Auditorium, or watch the lecture live on our   YouTube page.

We observe that 85% of the matter in the universe is in the form of invisible "dark matter" -- but we still do not know what this dark matter is. My favorite dark matter candidate is an "axion" – a hypothetical particle suggested by the problem of explaining the fundamental symmetries of the nuclear forces. The axion has a very small mass compared to other suggested dark matter particles. In an experiment, it would behave more like a wave than a particle. So, to discover axions, we are using a method completely different from those of other dark matter searches. In the SLAC experiments ADMX and Dark Matter Radio, we are building ultra-low-noise radio receivers, immersed in high magnetic fields, to identify the axion as a new radio band coming in from the cosmos. If we discover the axion, any high school physics class will be able to tune in to the axion airwaves.

About Chelsea Bartram

Chelsea Bartram has been interested in radio for a long time.  As a kid, she tried to imagine radio waves bouncing off the ionosphere and into her yard in Ohio.  She earned a ham radio license, built a few antennas,  and realized that she could hear people talking in foreign countries!  But detecting radio waves created by people was not enough.  She built up her knowledge by earning a Ph.D. in nuclear physics at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, in 2019, and then working as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Washington.  In 2022, she joined SLAC as a Panofsky Fellow.  Her goal today is to discover the axion by combining the old technologies of radio reception with the latest ultra-low-temperature detectors and quantum sensors.
