| Trail Description | What better way to start your ride season than at this old-fashioned primitives ride, so please come prepared. The trail is sandy and should be available to ride this time of year regardless of weather. You're sure to have a good time riding through this beautiful forest! For those who think central Illinois is one big corm field. Sand Ridge State Forest will come as a very pleasant surprise. The forest is an island in a sea of agriculture. Just minutes southwest of Peoria, this 7,200 acre forest, the largest of Illinois' State Forests, boasts sweeping expanses of native oak-hickory, extensive plantations of pine, sprawling open fields, grasslands, and completely unique sand prairies. For a refreshing, invigorating taste of unspoiled nature and an opportunity to experience a truly unique environment. Sand Ridge State Forest is ideal. The area is the result of a prehistoric dry period when more than desert-like conditions existed. Today it remains one of the few places in Illinois that supports an intriguing variety of plants and animals more associated with southwest than midwest Those include badger, silvery bladderpod, pocket gopher and prickly pear cactus to name a few. | ||||||
