After Exploring The Blackberry Maples Prairie Hill Loop Trail, Get Feed For Birds At Johnsen’s Farm & Country Store In Illinois

Along with being a fun bonding experience with your loved ones, an outing to The Blackberry Maples Prairie Hill Loop Trail and Johnsen's Farm & Country Store in Illinois is a great way to get immersed in nature. The following itinerary includes opportunities to take a hike, appreciate wildflowers, check out wildlife, and birdwatch, making for a fun and memorable day trip in Illinois! After you and your family have completed this trail, drive for about 10 minutes until you reach Johnen's Farm. Here, you'll be able to what you need and learn all you need to know about feeding hummingbirds and other animals.

To reach Blackberry Maples Prairie Hill Loop's trailhead, set your GPS to Elburn, Illinois.

Unlike more traditional hikes through a forest, you'll get to walk on grass, rather than dirt, when you hike this mile-long trail. Your leashed dog is welcome to join you on this hike, too.

Be prepared to delight at the array of wildflowers scattered in the prairie -- you'll understand why we're called The Prairie State!

It's easy to see how the trail's unique landscape is reminiscent of a painting. Therefore, feel free to take in the scenery as you bird watch too.

Upon completing the hike, pack your family back in the car for a short ride to Johnsen's Farm & Country Store.

If you're inspired to get a feeder after birdwatching on the hike you just took, you'll have plenty to choose from when you visit Johnsen's Farm & Country Store.

In addition to getting all you need to feed birds in your own backyard, don't forget to say hello to the horses on the premises.
