White Pines Forest State Park

Mount Morris, IL U.S.A.

White Pines Forest State Park preserves about 385 acres of pine-hardwood forest and limestone bluffs.

During the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps built a lodge and cabins at the center of the park and helped build footpaths.

The historic and architectural significance of the park and its buildings have earned White Pines a spot on the National Registry of Historic Places.

The lodge now houses a restaurant that offers dinner theater much of the year.

The park has five miles of hiking trails and is home to many species of birds and wildlife. There is a small stream for fishing. Bicyclists must stay on established roads.

The park has 106 campsites. Some of the sites can accommodate an RV, but there are no hookups.

This footbridge is one of the unique and historic features at White Pines Forest State Park.

A stream runs through White Pines Forest State Park.
