Blackhawk
Springs
Blackhawk Springs is accessible from Mulford and Perryville Roads. This 629-acre preserve is one of the largest in the District. This tract is heavily wooded, and provides a wealth of fishing and hiking activities. A new 2-mile paved recreation trail winds through both woods and prairie.
Several miles of additional dirt trails traverse Blackhawk Springs and connect
under Perryville Road to Espencheid forest preserve.
