Network of multiple trails, each with varying degrees of difficulty. This rider only rode five trails over the course of three enjoyble hours. Fairly frequent fallen logs prove to be relatively easy hops. Certain trails provide plenty of air space with natural and trail-made ramps. Difficult climbs and switchbacks lead to trail-blazing chutes and a few brake-hugging downhills. Occasional creek crossings are very doable with a little planning ahead. Absolutley beautiful scenery with signature Peoria-area ravines. Incredible deer-spotting! (They can be within 15 feet of riders, sharing the trails which can pose occasional hazard). Loose gravel-packed dirt in some area can pose threatening to helmets.
I-474 (South) of Peoria, IL; Exit 9. Head South on Hwy. 29; First turn east (LaSalle Blvd) is within 1/2 mile of 474. Trailhead is immediately on left within first 75 feet of LaSalle Blvd. (Someone out there must have more detailed directions.)
