Things To Do
Giant City State Park
Have a picnic, hike a trail, rock climb, or just take a relaxing drive through the winding forested roads of this beautiful state park.
Shawnee Bluffs Canopy Tour (Zip-Lining)
If you're into outdoor adventures, this is a must! Book ahead so you can fly through the forests and experience nature in a unique way.
Harbaugh's Cafe
My favorite mom and pop breakfast spot in the area! French toast, biscuits and gravy, and all your standard breakfast favorites.
Flamm Orchards
Fresh-picked produce and a little stand where you can buy homemade fruit desserts topped with soft-serve. Buy jellies, jams, pickled veggies, and honey too.
Little Grassy Lake Campground and Marina
Garden of the Gods
Makanda Trading Company
If you've never seen a rural "downtown" then check out this tiny front porch of shops with super quirky (70's hippie vibe) gifts, a little ice cream shop, and a secret garden in the back. Fun fact: NASA determined that this was THE best spot in the world to view the 2017 solar eclipse...and it will also be THE best spot to view the one in 2024.
