      Approximately 85 acres, this site is located about one-half mile east of Route 45 on River Road adjacent to Kankakee Community College. The 16 acre restored tall grass prairie was planted in 1992. A 3/4 mile trail begins a the prairie and winds along Gar Creek through oak woodland and down to the banks of the Kankakee River.

      At river's edge, the trail connects with the Kanakee Riverfront Trail Project, which starts at the River Road Ball Diamonds. It then continues through Kankakee Community College, Kankakee River Valley Forest Preserve, and Shapiro Devolopment Center. The trail connects through the City of Kankakee and runs through the Perry Farm, which is a part of the Bourbonnais Township Park District.
