Description You won't need to sail off through night and day or in and
out of weeks. Will County is where the wildflowers are! Anemone,
Dutchman’s breeches, trillium, hepatica – our wildflowers have
stories to tell! Journey to Raccoon Grove, a top spot to seek
wildflowers. Join a naturalist for a hike to find wildflowers and hear
stories of how these beauties were named, their uses through time and
other lore and legends.
These ephemeral blooms are beautiful but fleeting. Join us each month
for more chapters in the everchanging tale of wildflowers as old ones
fade and new ones bloom. Look for other preserves in this series or
choose your own adventure. We invite you to visit the same preserve
each month to see the changes unfold over time or mix it up and enjoy
a different preserve for the full story of Will County Wildflowers.
The trail is approximately 0.75 mile in length on natural surfaces
with some hills. Spring rains can make the trail muddy; please dress
with that in mind. Raccoon Grove does not have bathroom facilities.
Please plan accordingly.
Ages 10 or older.
