👍👍 This is a gemstone in Collinsville, Illinois. So much history, hiking, picnicking, gardens, interactive animals in residence, and more. Every time we visit there is something new, or refined ( beautified), etc. Handicapped accessibility is great. Families will love it. Weddings, reunions, da...

Audubon Center at Riverlands

👍👍 We went there on Monday, unaware it is closed on Mondays. We walked one of the trails. It is paved and very easy to walk. The grounds are well kept. There is a neat ramp that leads to an observation deck overlooking the river.

Lewis and Clark Trailhead Weldon Spring Conservation Area

👍👍 Wow! My husband and I went on Saturday morning for the first time, and this trail is beautiful! I like how some parts of the path are wide enough to walk side by side. Other parts are a little rocky and a little tough to navigate. However, it is well worth it to try this trail once. I love how there...

👍👍 What a great place to hike! The paths were well marked and there is a little something for everyone. Once we got off the paved path and followed The Deer (the most challenging) - it was an outstanding hike. Cheers!

Possum Woods Conservation Area
Nature preserve
👍👍 A good hike. The name of the park on the sign says something different then possum woods but it is listed as that on the map. Its a quick short trail threw the woods 1-1.5 miles depending on route you take. Trail goes high on bluffs over looking meramec river. There are 2 old home ruin site...

Al Foster Trail at Sherman Beach Park
Nature preserve
👍👍 Really enjoyable trail with a bunch of branching side trails. The Al Foster Trail itself reminds me of a mini Katy Trail (shorter and narrower). It runs parallel to the river and has nice views.

Silver Creek Preserve image

Silver Creek Preserve
Nature preserve
👍 Update: Preserve nature? During previous summers, park maintenance mowed a 4' strip on each side of the path. This year, they ravaged beneficial plants in huge swaths, and left the rest badly overgrown. The overlook is now a jungle with just a glimpse of Silver Creek. It's still a peaceful place to...

Julius J Knobeloch Woods Nature Preserve

👍👍 We had a beautiful hike here! Even as a very not fit person, I was able to do this without pain and agony. It’s very beginner level for those wanting to start hiking more often and get fit. It’s absolutely beautiful and the scenery and creeks and variety of obstacles are wonderful. They have several...

H & B Bremer Wildlife Sanctuary
Nature preserve
👍👍 Bremer is more than a nature preserve; it really is a sanctuary. They provide the space to let yourself wander, to become informed- through community events and education outreach programs- and to “stand still” while walking through the many accessible trails on site. All ages are welcome and encour...

Stemler Cave Woods Nature Preserve
Nature preserve
😐 The trail is not maintained very well and there is no cave. Their is a cave but the entrance is located on private property which is misleading. I looked for it over the summer but was wasting my time. The area is full of old sink holes and one active one that is huge and deep. A old trail wraps...

👍👍 Came out for a few hours of dove hunting today and they're running a no draw system for the hunts this year. Forms are in the box by the main office. Hunting was slow today but it's a great place to go, and seriously I love Missouri's department of conservation. Looking forward to some teal hunts so...

👍👍 We live 10 min away from here & had never been! We fell in love with this little hidden gem! Its not a very long hike but we followed the trail & we went off the trail as well weaving & winding back & forth across the holler. Lots of rock walls on both sides & the creek & cave to play in. The kids L...
