My FavoritesInformation
The Indian Boundary Prairies lie just south of Chicago. These dedicated Illinois Nature Preserves exemplify some of the best remnant, high-quality tallgrass prairie in the Midwest.
Located only 26 miles southwest of Chicago. Over 200 acres of pristine Illinois native prairie, much like the area was pre-settlement. Wildflowers, birds, butterflies abound! Prairie slide shows and tours available with advance notice.
