06-2025 Piatt County Museum in Hight rate 5 location for tourist in Monticello, IL, USAMonticello Railway Museum - Monticello DIRTYDAN’s Trains: Incredible place, took a trip for the weekend with a few other friends. Staff super friendly and helpful, genuinely want you to have a great experience. I can’t thank the folks responsible for the operation enough for their efforts, and cannot wait to come back again.
Dixon Springs State Park - Golconda Rebekah Rose: Great secluded camping area. We did the primitive campsite back in November. The campground was nice and flat, and the fire pits are good heavy duty ones too. We did have to hike a bit to find decent firewood tho, but thats camping. Definitely recommend.
Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site - Collinsville Dennis Robinson: The location was absolutely stunning and truly worth a visit, despite the weather not cooperating during our trip. One particularly impressive feature was the use of augmented reality via a QR code, which added a modern and engaging touch to the walk, providing deeper insights and an interactive way to explore the area.
Visitors should be prepared for a fair amount of walking, so dressing appropriately and wearing comfortable footwear is essential. The site is well-organized with pamphlets and clearly marked walking paths that make navigating from one area to another quite straightforward.
All in all, it’s a beautifully curated experience that blends natural beauty with thoughtful design and a touch of tech-savvy innovation. Highly recommended for those seeking a scenic, informative, and active outing.
Shawnee National Forest - Sarah Skattum: Such a wonderful gem of southern Illinois!!! Lots of great hikes and wonderful places to explore.
Giant City State Park - Makanda Niki Kempf: Relatively easy trails. Neat rock formations and overhangs. A few small streams. Nice park/picnic areas with restrooms (more like a portable potty). The lodge and welcome center are super nice facilities. There is a restaurant and some cabins also. My family had a great time hiking (ages 9-43)
