About
Coral Woods offers three trails. The Sugar Maple Loop is a 0.4 mile walk. For a longer trek, the 1.2 mile Nature Loop trail is known for wildflowers in the spring. A 1.2 mile hiking/ski trail is another favorite. A 1.5 mile trail is open for cross country skiing. The trail is not groomed but is on relatively flat terrain.
A reserveable picnic shelter with fireplace & picnic area are available for up to 80 guests or can be used for free for casual day use, individuals & groups less than 15.
Bird watching is popular during migrations. Watch for white breasted nuthatch, northern flicker, red-eyed vireo, scarlet tanager, American goldfinch, indigo bunting, downy woodpecker, great-crested flycatcher & cedar waxwing.
Grey Tree Frogs
The Grey Tree frog is very common in Illinois. It is variable in color & has the ability to camouflage, depending on where they are sitting. No more than 1.5-2 inches in size, their skin has a lumpy texture, giving it a warty appearance. The grey tree frog is virtually indistinguishable from the Cope’s gray tree frog.
Cache Your Way Question
What are the two ways to tell them apart?
About the Hide
The GPS gets a little sketchy but it gets you pretty close to the area and then the search should be relatively easy. Just remember, my caches are never very far from the trail (within in a few feet) and generally under downed things. Camoed peanut butter container.
