- Located in the heart of the Shawnee National Forest in Illinois is an Illinois State Park named Ferne Clyffe State Park that is quite possibly the best in Southern Illinois.
Ferne Clyffe (Fern Cliff State Park) near Goreville, Marion, and Carbondale Illinois is packed full of natural beauty. Sandstone bluffs and waterfalls make their home here. The park has abundant hiking trails and excellent opportunities to view nature.
This video highlights the fall autumn season and is filmed on the Big Rocky Hollow Trail, along with the Ferne Clyffe Lake Trail, and the Round Bluff Trail.
Great hike, thanks for sharing! Ferne Clyffe has wonderful trails.
My pleasure! It truly one of the best state parks in the area.
My favorite hiking season is frozen waterfalls and 22 degrees.
Hmm, that’s pretty good, also! Thanks for watching and commenting
I was interested in getting to know this girl at one time. I only knew about her after seeing my sticker on her car. I saw that she went to Ferne Clyffe and decided to go and see if she was there. She was. We started talking that day. We became friends and hiked together every weekend shortly after. Then we became more than friends. Now we live together. Happily together. That park is very special to me. Blackjack Oak is my favorite trail. Best fall colors trail, too! Great video, Gary!
Wow! That’s a pretty cool story. A lot better than mine lol. Sounds like a great idea for a video. It really is a cool place.
@@MarksofCuriosity Maybe so! Maybe I'll make a video of me hiking without talking and then overlay it with my story. Hmm. It is a cool spot, that's for sure
New subscriber. I live in Chicago and love Fern Clyffe. Been twice. Accidentally hooked a snapping turtle while fishing there! Rock formations are beautiful. You found so many that I haven't seen. Next time.
Thanks for the sub! It is an absolutely beautiful area. Hopefully that snapper was easy to get off. It's a place you can definitely spend some time exploring.
Reminds me a little bit of elephant rock state park in mo😊
That’s a beautiful area, also! Thanks for commenting and watching:)
