Ghost Dance Canyon Details
Although it is not the hardest or longest of trails in Illinois, this .7-mile trek is a fun way to see some of nature and wildlife that lives in the Shawnee National Forest. There is a lot of seeing in such a small area, like bridges, caves, streams, and waterfalls. On a warm day, you might want to dip your toes in the water or go swimming in the shallow springs. However, you should plan to visit after a bit of rain, as the falls tend to dry up in warm, summer weather.
