Battery Rock Photo Blog

Enjoy this Battery Rock photo blog. Battery Rock is located on the Ohio River in southern Illinois. It’s part of the Shawnee National Forest. It was the former Ohio River terminus of the River to River Trail. Due to its remoteness and long road walking requirements, the terminus was re-routed from Elizabethtown, Illinois. It was used for western movie production. It was also a site used during the Civil War on various occasions, including the Caseyville Standoff. Now you can enjoy the area by hiking trails and off-trail exploration.

Please Support Hiking with Shawn

Alrighty folks, I hope you have enjoyed this content. I provide it for free and it takes a while to create. If you would be so kind enough to support my efforts, you can do so by sharing this post with others, especially on social media. Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube Channel to see my latest videos, shorts and live streams. Follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok for unique content that you will only find on those pages. You might also join my Southern Illinois Hiking & Outdoor Resources Group on Facebook, too!

You can also support me by becoming a Patreon Supporter for as little as $3/month and you can cancel anytime (no contracts or catches). Patreons get access to extra features, exclusive articles, sticker packs, gifts and more. Consider buying official Hiking with Shawn Merchandise as another way to support me. I spend a lot of money on Hiking with Shawn and because of extremely high public land permit fees, I make very little money in return so everything helps.

Thanks again for checking out another one of my articles and until next time, I’ll see you on the trail!
