Prairie Springs Trail Access
Prairie Springs Trail Access
Prairie Springs Trail provides access to the Des Plaines River through multiple trail options: a 2.
3-mile paved path around Lake Andrea, the 2-mile natural Hackbarth Trail with a boardwalk and bridge crossing the Des Plaines River, and the 2-mile crushed-stone Prairie Farms Trail.
The park offers boat launch facilities at Lake Andrea (electric motors only) and seasonal paddleboard/canoe/kayak rentals through Froggy's Landing, though parking for river access can be limited and requires verification of designated non-member parking areas.
