Overview
Back by popular demand for its second year, Friends of the Sands is leading a Three Trail Challenge on Saturday, March 29, featuring some of the best of Kankakee Sands.
Hike three trails at Kankakee Sands in one day! We'll start off in the morning at the Grace Teninga Discovery Trail, a 2.1-mile loop trail traversing the prairie on the hill.
Then, we'll trek the Wet Prairie Trail at the Kankakee Sands office for a short 0.6-mile hike past the Efroymson Rock. Afterwards, hikers will rest for lunch and a bathroom break at the new visitor pavilion.
We’ll conclude the challenge with a visit to Conrad Station Savanna to hike the 1.6 mile trail through this old ghost town. Please bring boots appropriate for wet trails or a pair or backup footwear in the event we get wet on the trails.
Additional Details
- The terrain is easy and the walk is expected to be about 4 miles long across all three trails.
- Youth are welcome to attend with their parents.
- Wear weather-appropriate layers.
