Trail Description
This easy trail features forest, a river, views, wildlife, and wildflowers. It can be overgrown at times and doesn't appear to be well-maintained. Not well marked. Popular horseback riding trail. Seward Bluffs Forest Preserve is one of FPWC’s most picturesque and most popular. It boasts woodland, stream and dolomite cliffs. It is home to many northern relic species as well as a good spring wildflower display. The 400 acres in the western portion is beautiful undulating restored prairie and oak-savanna. Because of its dramatic scenery and varied landscape, it is a favorite for hiking and horseback riding. Seward Bluffs is one of three preserves which offers a campground. The overlook on the eastern edge provides one of the most beautiful views in the county. Seward Bluffs is famous for its display of colorful fall foliage. Don’t miss the show in October!
