About Eddyville

Tucked inside the Shawnee National Forest, Eddyville is a tiny Pope County village with fewer than 100 residents. It is best known as a jumping-off point for exploring southern Illinois's rugged backcountry, sitting just minutes from spots like Burden Falls and Lusk Creek Canyon. If you are looking for quiet country living, Eddyville offers a tight-knit community surrounded by some of the most scenic hiking and horseback riding trails in the state.
