Description

Set within the forested hills of southern Illinois, Pounds Hollow Recreation Area is a peaceful Shawnee National Forest destination centered on Pounds Hollow Lake. The landscape brings together quiet water, wooded slopes, exposed rock, and hiking opportunities, making it a fine place to enjoy the character of the Shawnee backcountry at an unhurried pace. Visitors can come for a walk, a picnic, a look at the surrounding rock formations, or simply some time beside the lake. Before visiting, check current Forest Service information for road conditions, camping details, boating or fishing rules, and any seasonal notices.
