Hiking
The River Trail is one of the longest trails in the West Fork Trails system. This trail traverses northeast-southeast through dense, lush forests and provides the only access to the Illinois River in this area at the north end of the trail. You can access the river via an old road bed that ends in a shady myrtle forest by its banks. You must step over a barbed wire fence to get to the water and to see the confluence of the two forks of the Illinois River to your left.
