LPTC volunteers installed a New Mileage Sign at Paw Paw St Trailhead.

Donated by Lincoln Prairie Trails Conservancy. A huge thanks to Lori & Brian for coordinating and installing this sign, and the sign at the Pana Trailhead!

Let's Go Outside! With the weather breaking, it's a great time to come on out to the LPT and Bike, Hike or Roll!

A long time "trail monument" if you have spent any time riding along the Lincoln Prairie Trail through Owaneco you would see this. Some interesting history!

08/01/2026

The LPT has a variety of animals and flowers that make the trail home. How many of the Stars of Nature in these pictures have you seen along the trail?

Try out the benches, including the new benches between the new Bridge and the Lake Taylorville entrance. There's also a refurbished Eagle Scout Bridge place north of Owaneco in the Tree Line.

Thanks to Q for the pictures and to LPTC Volunteers for installing the new & refurbished benches.

A huge Thank You to Trail User Q for the pictures he took & shared of flora and fauna along the LPT. Next time your on the trail, try to being a camera and get shots of what you found!
