👍👍 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
Nature preserve
👍👍 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!

Valley View Glades Natural Area
Park
👍 There are some very beautiful views and some nice water features after some rain on the trail. I recommend you go left on the loop so you are looking up at the falls as you hike. The trail is root bound and rugged in many places. Also can be muddy so bring a change of shoes for after. Overall a real...

Labarque Creek Conservation Area image

Labarque Creek Conservation Area
Nature preserve
👍 This park is certainly a hidden gem in an area with a good amount of state parks to explore. This one's a bit more off the beaten path, and would be VERY easy to miss. The parking lot is a nondescript gravel area with some benches and wildflowers. The trail is a pretty long loop, so be ready to c...

Possum Woods Conservation Area

👍👍 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...

Hilda J Young Conservation Area East
Nature preserve
👍👍 I went here once to film a short video for a college project and that led me down a rabbit hole of adventure, misfortune, happiness, sadness, peace, tranquility, and just downright fun. I’ve made so many memories here. There’s something almost mystical about it’s many terrains and habitats you can f...

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...

Kress Farm Garden Preserve
Nature preserve
👍👍 Great hidden gem! Only open 9-3. A long gravel road leads you to the farm. Loop is one way, enter the loop on the left and follow the signs (Google tells you to turn right). You can park next to the building that says restrooms and store. There are 2 restrooms inside plus a drink cooler plus some su...

Rockwoods Range
Nature preserve
👍👍 Hands down, one of the best hiking trails I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. It's a straight trail, meaning it doesn't loop you back so you have to literally turn around on path and go back( which I have no problem with). Total length is 14 miles, with the trail becoming more scenic with mo...

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...
