Blackhawk Springs Forest Preserve

Beautiful area connecting to the kishwakee river trail and another path that goes into the prarie area. The entrance to the trail has a plaground, outhouse, a picinic area, and poop bags available for dog walkers. The trail is marked with a center line that is dashed when you can pass safely and solid yellow when on an incline. The trail has many spots with benches. The river trail has many fishing spots.

This is a fun little Park. The kids enjoy running the trails and it's a great place to get in a three-mile loop on the trails. There is a natural spring just off of the paved trail and it is a great place to go and explorer. Also this part that connects with several of the other adjacent parks by trails.

Love this place. Clean bathrooms, plenty of parking, and lots of shade. The trails are well kept and dog friendly. Pretty flat so you can get some distance if you want.
