Sites Considered (revised 11/24/04)

Currently, sites in all 10 counties have been visited, assessed, and recommended for inclusion on the trail. Click the following link to view the loops as they are added to the Illinois River Country Nature Trail.

When complete, the new Illinois River Country Nature Trail will
unify and connect 100+ nature-based destinations in the Illinois River
Valley. We’re searching for some great places where visitors, and
residents alike, can go to discover the nature of our region. This unique
project will include sites on public and private land in Bureau, Fulton, La Salle, Marshall, Mason, Peoria, Putnam, Stark, Tazewell and Woodford counties.
