Temple's Setting

The Hindu Temple of Central Illinois is situated on a beautiful bluff overlooking Kickapoo Creek and the Peoria stretch of the Illinois River Valley. The temple is bordered to the south by Peoria Park District's Rocky Glen forest preserve. If you are wondering why such interesting terrain exists in the mostly flatland of Illinois, you might be interested in reading about the Kankakee Torrent and the Bloomington Morainic System. If you are interested in helping to create and maintain paths, please consider volunteering.
