We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Illiniwek MTB Trailhead yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

Very nice trail and well maintained. I liked the trail design and smooth flow as well as the beautiful views of the Mississippi. My two complaints: The trail was short, not much more than 4-5 miles. I parked at the north parking lot and none of the trails were marked. Once into the loops the signs are good though
Not a bad place to spend a few hours! There's a decent amount interconnected trails and a few pretty vantage points of the river! Only thing I didn't like was the trail markers were kinda confusing. Trails are one-way on certain days.
Excellent trail running. Good flow. Trail marking is ok, could be better.
