Make Your Shawnee National Forest Visit Unique

Do you know how to make your Shawnee National Forest visit unique?

Shop, dine, and lodge locally.

Buy Shawnee Forest merchandise from places like Garden of the Gods Outpost, Harbison’s Country Market, and Mitchellville General Store.

Dine locally at places like Bottoms Up Grill, Giant City Lodge, Bunmakers, Whiffle Boy’s Pizza, Diver Down, and Shotgun Eddy’s (just to name a few).

Lodge locally at places like Rustic Hideaway Cabins, Shawnee Forest Cabins, and Rim Rock’s Dogwood Cabins (just to name a few).

Make your Shawnee National Forest visit unique by enjoying southern Illinois’s mom-and-pop places.

It’ll be a way better memory than staying at a Super 8, shopping at Wal-Mart, and eating at McDonald’s.

Make your visit to southern Illinois memorable in all aspects.

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!
