Fountain Bluff: Shawnee National Forest

I’ve wanted to get down to Shawnee National forest for a while to check out the trails that are located there. A lot of four-wheelers claim that there is no public land in Illinois to go wheeling on. Well, they would be wrong. They just need to get down to Shawnee and check out some of the forest roads located there sometime.

We managed to get Bounty Hunter from SIJA to guide us through an area called Fountain Bluff, which is right along the Mississippi River. Here’s some pictures from our expedition.

We followed these power lines for a little bit

We had to remove a few fallen trees

Then we came to a rock section that lead us down to a beach along the Mississippi

We ate lunch on the beach and took some more pictures.
