About New Athens

New Athens is a quiet village sitting right on the banks of the Kaskaskia River in southern Illinois. Located about 40 minutes southeast of St. Louis, it offers a laid-back, small-town lifestyle with a deep connection to the outdoors. Boating, fishing, and camping are everyday pastimes here, with easy boat launches and the vast Kaskaskia River State Fish and Wildlife Area right in your backyard. It is a peaceful, close-knit spot to settle down while keeping the city within easy reach.
