Fern Cliffe State ParkGreat family adventures happen in the Shawnee National Forest!  Did you ever think mud and rocks could stop a 5 year old cold in their tracks?  Well it happens!   Sure it’s not a crowded amusement park only for kids or an old boring museum for mom and dad, it’s the Shawnee National Forest!  In the forest kids get to play on the attractions while parents get to soak up all that adult stuff they enjoy (history, nature, great views, etc.).  And if you think the forest is just for family picnics, think again!  How about rock climbing for a day? Maybe try your hand at some of the best fishing in the state of Illinois.  Have you ever wanted to stay in a log cabin?  Come on!  Explore a little!
