WELCOME TO THE GREAT OUTDOORS INSIDE THE MIDWEST
Three mighty rivers. Four scenic roadways. World-class hiking and biking trails. A National Water Trail. The only place in America where the Mother Road of Route 66 meets the Great River Road. It’s no wonder the six county Great Rivers & Routes region of southwest Illinois is a wonderland of adventure for outdoor enthusiasts and road trip wonderers.
