Moraine View State Recreation Area

By: HRA Crack Research Team

With fully developed facilities for horseback riding,
the 1,687-acre Moraine View State Recreation Area, with
its 158-acre lake, is a beautiful, convenient and
accessible locale for relaxation and recreation.

When the glaciers of the last Ice Age moved through
central Illinois 15,000 years ago, they pushed massive
amounts of rock and earth before them, leaving in their
wake long and expansive ridges that ripple across the
landscape. These irregular crests are called moraines,
and on their gentle swells and their broad valleys are
scattered groves of white oak, red oak, black walnut,
maple, hickory, ash and elm.

More than 10 miles of bridle paths on Timberline Ridge
Trail wind through most of the area.

Timberline Ridge horse camp has 30 Class "A" campsites
complete with water, electricity, and hitching racks.
