Confirmed from Holland Sand Prairie State Natural Area's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Holland Sand Prairie State Natural Area
“Beautiful prairie with many rare plants if you know where to look.”
This is a lovely spot for a stroll through a prairie. We didn't walk all the trails, but we still saw plenty of wildflowers, insects and birds. It's conveniently located, but that also means it isn't secluded or free of traffic or noise from day-to-day life. It still felt like a bit of an escape.
This is a great hidden gem. Nice walking trails and nature at every turn.
