Horseshoe Mound Preserve

The nearly 200-acre Horseshoe Mound offers the opportunity to enjoy one of the most scenic properties in all of northern Illinois. It features a central gathering area, viewing scopes, and scenic outlooks with views across three states. Hiking trails extend throughout the property and offer panoramic views of the city of Galena, distant views of Bellevue and Dubuque in Iowa, the Mississippi River, and several other geological mounds in Iowa and Wisconsin.
