Buehler Preserve
102 Jefferson St., Galena, IL 61036
Biking
Nature preserve just steps away from downtown Galena.
Hike or bike into Buehler Preserve from downtown Galena and experience the prairie life! The 18-acre Buehler Preserve was donated to Jo Daviess Conservation Foundation (JDCF) CF in 1998 by former Galena Mayor, Robert Buehler. A hilly woodland, a flood plain, a prairie restoration, and public open space close to downtown Galena are all found there. The Galena River Trail, a favorite of bikers, hikers, and dog-walkers, extends from the Meeker Street footbridge into the preserve. JDCF maintains a mowed trail around its perimeter. Fishing is allowed.
