Johnson-Sauk Trail State Recreation Area
Johnson-Sauk Trail State Recreation Area, State recreation area in Henry County, Illinois, US.
The 1,365-acre park features rolling hills, hardwood forests, pine groves, wildlife plantings, grasslands, and a central 58-acre lake with 2.5 miles of shoreline.
Native American tribes including Sauk, Fox, and Winnebago established villages in this region, using local resources and traveling along what became known as Sauk Trail.
Ryan's Round Barn, constructed in 1910, represents agricultural architecture with its circular design and stands as a preserved structure within the park grounds.
The park operates from sunrise to 10 PM between May and November, and from sunrise to sunset from November through April, offering camping, boating, and hiking activities.
The park contains a natural area with skunk cabbage populations that bloom during winter, an uncommon occurrence for this region of Illinois.
