A wonderful little jewel here in Peoria. The scenery is just beautiful and the trails are well maintained. A great place to spend a fall afternoon.

Trails are easy to follow with numerous great stopping points to take breaks. The entire trail is composed of smaller trails in mileage so you can totally customize your trail length every hike. Lots of trees that provide shaded areas in the summer months. I found that there aren’t too many mosquitos, which is a huge plus!
The center itself has restrooms, there are vending machines outside. Inside the center, there are small stations of wildlife education, mostly insects and a few mammal skins.

Came here on a foliage drive mid-​October. Unfortunately we had the dog with us. No dogs allowed here! I’m not sure why they aren’t allowed on the trails. I guess irresponsible dog owners that don’t pick up after them have ruined it for the rest of us. I would urge them to reconsider this no dog policy though. Maybe put some bag stations along the way.
Also, the center itself doesn’t open until 1:00 on Sundays. More than a bit late for a prime nature hunting day!
We didn’t stay long or hike far since we had the dog but what we saw seemed very nice. Would have loved to have seen more!

Forest Park Nature Preserves is truly a hidden gem to the Peoria area. I visited this park as a child in the 70s and to my joy I see little has changed. The center is beautiful and rustic, the employees seem to really like the park, and the trails are absolutely beautiful. You can hike all day if you like, you can hike easier trails or find the more challenging. Dogs are not allowed on the trails, which is a plus if you want to avoid stepping in waste or being confronted on a trail. There are many other local trails that allow dogs, but this being a preserve, they are not allowed.
The trails are friendly for children (escorted) and some are even wheelchair or stroller accessible.
We adore this park!

Great trails, and the gift shop and building are a neat stop. The only drawback is that dogs are not allowed, which occasionally drives us to other hiking destinations, but this is one of my favorites.
They also have live music and holiday events there, which is a fun inexpensive outing.

Forest Park Nature Center is one of the best parks in Peoria, if not the best. The building itself has a gift shop, and a lobby where you can look at small animals, hydes, etc. The last time I was there, they had photos from a photography contest posted as well.
The highlight for me is the hiking trails, which range in difficulty from very easy to somewhat challenging. It’s a beautiful place with some scenic overlooks. The deer are used to having people around, so you can see them pretty close up.
There are also regular special events going on such as education sessions and concerts.

This is a Peoria treasure. Huge beautiful nature preserve with walking trails, a gift shop and tons of indigenous wildlife. Last time we were there we saw 6 turkeys, a momma deer and 2 babies, 8 mushroom varieties and all the squirrels you can imagine. And best of all, it’s free!
