The Peoria area has an abundance of exciting outdoor opportunities and fabulous local dining spots that are often overlooked by visitors-as well as myself sometimes. My Peoria is loaded with hundreds of miles of trails, thousands of acres of creeks, rivers and parks, and an untapped potential. 

I wanted to create a site that combined the very best of the LOCAL outdoor clubs, groups, and restaurants that make the central Illinois area a special place, and in the process, help promote  the groups and individuals that make this area a true hidden  midwestern gem.
