Gebhard Woods State Park, State park in Morris, Illinois, US
The 30-acre state park features old trees such as walnut, oak, ash, maple, sycamore, hawthorn, and cottonwood along the Illinois & Michigan Canal.
The Grundy County Rod & Gun Club purchased the land from Mrs. William Gebhard in 1934 for $1,500 and donated it to create the state park.
The park stands as part of the 61-mile Illinois and Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor, preserving natural and historical elements of Illinois.
Visitors can participate in multiple outdoor activities including hiking, camping, picnicking, canoeing, and fishing throughout different seasons of the year.
Nettle Creek flows through the park grounds, creating a natural environment where wildflowers bloom in spring, including trillium, bluebell, and white trout lily.
