A gem in Elgin. The cemetery is very beautiful (includes a Civil War Memorial). The trails aren't the widest, most well-maintained trails (at least in the winter!) so I wouldn't go right after a rain or snow or to run, but it all adds to the charm of this little tucked-away piece of nature. Nice views from the hilltop of a small prairie.
Beautiful place. Very relaxing. It's a bit of that you have to go through a cemetery to get there, but the scenery is lovely. It's sooo quiet. There are rare birds and many wild flowers growing there.
I discovered this place by accident and now try to go at least once during each season of the year. The entrance is 'hidden' at the back of the cemetery where there are about 4 parking spaces. This is a place for people who enjoy a nature walk without high expectations of overwhelming scenery. It is beautiful in its simplicity and if you like to stare at clouds and the sky-- there can be some great viewing here above the wide open native fields. The paths are mostly fine gravel and can sometimes get muddy so you may want to take that into consideration. This is NOT a picnic ground or party place. Just a quiet place to go for a pleasant walk. If you are lucky you'll see deer, butterflies and native birds.
A hidden gem on the edge of Elgin, this fen has many trails that are preserved by a group of volunteers. There are many species of birds, butterflies, and plants. Entrance is primarily through the Bluff City Cemetery.
