Westside Equestrian Trails

The westside network of loop trails is accessed by Westside Road and includes eight miles of trails that go through a mixed forest of conifers and oak woodlands to vista points overlooking Illinois Valley and the Illinois River. The trail is designed for horse travel but is also an excellent place for hikers to enjoy. Dogwood trees are common along parts of the trail network making this a place to visit in the spring when these trees are in bloom and fall (late October) when the leaves turn a bright pink.
