Hawk Hollow

A gently rolling landscape covered with grassy meadows, accented with mature woodlands, dotted with fens, and bisected by a river – that’s what visitors will find at Hawk Hollow Forest Preserve. At over a thousand acres, this large preserve hosts various wildlife habitats, but most importantly, it contains one of the largest unbroken blocks of grassland habitats in the county. This grassland is home to several uncommon bird species, including Henslow’s sparrow, bobolink, eastern meadowlark, grasshopper sparrow, and savannah sparrow; and while currently it is composed of many non-native species, the District is working to reintroduce native grasses to this significant area.

Recreation

Trails

A three-mile multipurpose trail meanders through the preserve, connecting to trails in Mallard Lake Preserve, West Branch Preserve, and the Bartlett Park District Trail System.
