We asked readers for their favorite place to take a winter walk in the Chicago area? Here's what you told us, lightly edited for clarity:

“The lakefront because it's amazing to see the lake covered by ice floes, mist and snow and to hear the crackling of the ice with practically nobody around.”
— Craig Barner

“Under the L Tracks along Wabash Avenue.”
— Bob Long Jr.

"The Country Lane Woods near Palos Park Woods at 95th Street, west of La Grange Road. The woods are well-maintained and the trails are paved."
— Edward Sullivan

"Up and down the aisles of a great bookstore or hardware store."
— Harve Tucker

"I love the North Pond-zoo-conservatory-nature museum area in Lincoln Park [including] the nature boardwalk area through the zoo. ... You're around ... plant and wildlife and are not far from the lakefront. ... You can see the skyline from most vantage points. It never gets old. I'm really proud of this area in our city and it brings me a sense of calm."
— Jennifer Nelkin

"The Morton Arboretum in Lisle. It is so peaceful and relaxing. Great place to de-stress!"
— Kevin Beese

"If it's one of those above 40 degree days during the winter, then it's from the city into Evanston, turn around and come back. At some point, I'm along the lakefront."
— Elliott Avant

“Under Michigan Avenue to Billy Goat Tavern.”
— Deborah Fuller Tobias

"We walk through LaBagh Woods and Gompers Park. The adjacent sites, with the north branch of the Chicago River running through, have open and wooded areas, picnic pavilions and athletic fields. We see deer and other wildlife often. For more ambitious walks, LaBagh Woods is the trailhead for the North Branch Trail."
— Bruce Dean

“Millennium Park. It’s near the lake, near my workplace and just beautiful!”
— Paul Lockwood

“I love walking around Wrigley Field in winter, getting a table at El Jardin with no wait and no crush, finding a small crowd in any of the bars up there and joining in some good conversation about sports or politics.”
— Micky Burk

"From my TV room to the kitchen and back again."
— KJ Botts
