Gar Creek Trail & Prairie
Good to know Trail
A Kankakee River Valley Forest Preserve site on River Road about half a mile east of Route 45, next to Kankakee Community College. The three-quarter-mile trail starts at a 16-acre restored tallgrass prairie (planted in 1992), follows Gar Creek through oak woodland and drops to the banks of the Kankakee River, where it joins the Riverfront Trail. Trailhead parking is on River Road beside the college.
