LCF’s Bruce Hannon Levee Trail spans approximately two miles, while the entire Sangamon River Bluff Trail extends roughly 4.5 miles, ending on Allerton property. The trail offers remarkable views of the Sangamon River that are rarely found elsewhere in the region. Hikers can expect a moderately challenging, rustic experience, and while some natural obstacles such as downed logs may remain, they generally do not impede hiking on the trail.
This milestone reflects the shared commitment of local and state partners to create interconnected corridors, provide wildlife habitat, and strengthen the connection between people and nature for future generations.
The Land Conservation Foundation is a non-profit land trust whose mission is to preserve and restore natural communities in East Central Illinois, create interconnected corridors, provide wildlife habitat, and connect people and nature for future generations.
