Green River State Wildlife Area

By: HRA Crack Research Team

The Green River State Wildlife Area is a wildlife
restoration area popular among hunters, hikers, birders
and other outdoor enthusiasts.

Topography of the 2,565-acre area varies from flat to
gently rolling. Swampy slough areas dominate nearly a
third of the acreage, but the remaining portions are
prairie restorations, open fields, cultivated areas or
timberlands.

Many of these areas have been specially planted and
managed to provide more food and cover for a variety of
wildlife species. Native prairie plants are found in
many portions of the Green River Area.

Acquired by the State of Illinois in 1940, with the
assistance of funding from the Federal Aid in Wildlife
Restoration Act.

There is a single 10-mile equestrian trail, open for
public use from April 15 to Oct. 31.

Green River State Wildlife Area is located about six
miles northwest of the town of Ohio, in Illinois, off
Illinois Route 26.
