Take a Walk on the Wild Side

Actually it may not be that wild, depending on how adventuresome you'd like to be, but it will certainly be a walk you won't soon forget!

Galena is a great place to bring your walking shoes, take in this exhilarating fresh air and explore all that there is.
Check out these great "walks."

• Take in the natural beauty with a peaceful walk along the river levee (includes interpretive signage), the Galena River Trail, or through one of our many area nature preserves.
• Did you bring your GPS? Galena is filled with hidden geocache treasures. Try your hand at making the find.
• Learn about the spirits — Ghost Tours — include lamplight tours and tales of past residents who may still remain.
• Take a step back in time. Amble through a historic home and revisit yesteryear.
• Stroll and shop Main Street.
• Step challenge—No need for a Stairmaster when you have the Green Street Steps at your disposal: 190 steps one way (and the view from the top is so worth it!).
• Learn so much by listening — in a cemetery. Historic Cemetery Walk: June 12-13 for a guided tour.
• Stop and smell the roses. Linmar Gardens offers tours seasonally. Garden Walks also frequent our Calendar of Events.
• Walk an alpaca. Really! They're pretty cute.
• Take a walk with a professional historian on a Galena History Tour. You'll leave with a whole new appreciation for what is and was.
