Miscellaneous Information:

Kickapoo Creek Park, part of the Logan County Park & Trails Foundation, is a lovely wooded prairie are just north of Lincoln, Illinois, at 2000 N. Jefferson Street. Intended as a wildlife park for the public, it will remain as secluded and natural as possible. Approximately half of the 160-acre park is wooded, with Kickapoo Creek meandering through the woods. A footbridge across the creek permits easy access to the more secluded north side.

Many of the trails for hiking have been cleared on both sides of Kickapoo Creek, as well as through the upper prairie land. One of the trails is a designated exercise trail, and other are ideal for cross-country skiing in the winter. A campground for scout groups is available, as are limited day camp facilities. Both canoeing and fishing are permitted in the creek.

Other amenities for the convenience of park visitors include picnic pavilions and tables, public toilets near the parking areas, and city water.

The park is open year round, from 7 a.m. to one half hour after sunset.
