What national forests are in Illinois?
I live in the Chicago area, and I’d really like to adventure to other areas of the state once the weather gets warm. I’d love to visit a national forest, but I’m not sure if Illinois has any. If it does, what national forests are in Illinois?

The closest city to Shawnee is
Harrisburg
in the very southern tip of the state, but most Shawnee visitors prefer to camp within the park itself. Here are a few recommended stops in the forest: - Garden of the Gods—nearest to: Herod, IL
- Cave in Rock—nearest to: Cave-in-Rock, IL
- Iron Furnace—nearest to: Elizabethtown, IL
- Little Grand Canyon—nearest to: Pomona, IL
- Pomona Natural Bridge—nearest to: Pomona, IL
- Rim Rock—nearest to: Findlay, IL
- Giant City—nearest to: Makanda, IL
- Burden Falls—nearest to: Stonefort, IL
- Bell Smith Springs—nearest to: Ozark, IL
- State Champion Bald Cypress Tree (estimated to be 1,250 years old!)—near Ullin, IL; best views on foot are on the Lower Cache River Swamp Trail via the Lower Cache River Access
