We are sorry but the hike at Spring Creek Preserve is full. If you would like to be placed on a waiting list, please contact Christine Belless at cbelless@illinois.edu or call 309-547-3711. 

On October 2, 2024, 9 AM until noon, join forestry expert Karen Weigelt and Master Naturalist Mike McGraw for a hike in beautiful Spring Creek Preserve.  We will be learning about and learning how to identify, some of the many species of trees that grow there.  Space is limited. 

This hike will be approximately three-miles long, with frequent stops.  The terrain of Spring Creek Preserve is steep, so be prepared to negotiate some hills. 
  • Wear sturdy shoes or hiking boots
  • Bring a walking stick
  • Bottled water will be available

Hikers should plan to meet Karen and Mike at the main Spring Creek Preserve Parking lot on Spring Creek Road, East Peoria.  Google Maps link https://maps.app.goo.gl/NP2ZWhMs1CHqGcEv5.
