The
area is relatively very hilly for Illinois, with thick woods,
and deep ravines at certain points. In the fall it's especially
beautiful with the fall color changes.

directions:
Start
at Utica, IL and head south on Route 178 for
just about a mile or so and you will come
to the intersection of Route 71. At the intersection
turn left (east) and you'll be at the entrance
of the park in just a mile. Take your time
and check out the park but then get back on
71 heading east and ride along the Illinois
river to the town of South Ottawa. The whole
ride is only about 12 miles and if I were
you I would turn around and do it a couple
of times! Enjoy!!
