Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
What are people saying about parks in Springfield, IL?
This is a review for parks in Springfield, IL:
"Wow! What an awesome find! Beautiful nature paths with lots of shade just minutes from the highway. There are about 6 miles of hiking paths that are very well maintained and mostly shaded, although there is a part that goes through the prairie. When we were there, the cicadas were so loud they were almost deafening, but other than that the bugs were not too bad. Make sure you stop at the visitor center first and grab a map so you don't have to try and memorize trail names. We walked for about 2 hours and just loved it. We plan to come back each time we are in Springfield and feel like stretching our legs *I should probably mention that these are human foot traffic only trails. No bikes, no dogs."
