Where to Run

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.

Over 500 runners completed this year's Jingle Bell Run for Arthritis!
