Speaking of lakes... have you ever wondered what lies beneath the surface?

Little Grassy Lake has been significantly drained, offering a rare opportunity to catch a glimpse of what the bottom of a lake looks like. It's a fascinating sight for curious explorers and nature enthusiasts alike. Definitely worth adding to your Shawnee adventure list. Please note that heavy rains may cause a fluctuation in water levels.

Picture this. 📸

This summer, you’re working from the cabin with a clear view of the lake.

The kids spend the day kayaking, exploring, and making memories they'll talk about long after the trip is over.

Dinner is right next door.

S’mores over the campfire for dessert.

The kids are happy, tired, and sleeping soundly.

The parents end the night with a glass of wine in the hot tub under a sky full of stars.

Now that's a summer worth remembering.

The tradition of wearing red poppies on Memorial Day traces back to the fields of World War I, where Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae noticed bright red poppies blooming among the graves of fallen soldiers. Moved by the sight, he wrote the now-famous poem, “In Flanders Fields” — a timeless reminder of sacrifice, remembrance, and honor.

Looking for a laid-back lake day with just the right amount of adventure?

Cedar Lake is one of Southern Illinois’ hidden gems and it’s just about 20–25 minutes from The Hills cabins in Cobden.

Things to do at Cedar Lake 👇

🚣‍♀️ Kayaking & Canoeing: This is one of the best spots in the area for kayaking. With calm water and a 10 hp motor limit, it stays quiet and perfect for paddling. You’ll find secluded inlets, rock formations, and shoreline views that make it feel like your own private escape.

🎣 Fishing Cast: a line for bass, crappie, catfish, and bluegill. It’s a local favorite for both casual and serious anglers.

🥾 Hiking the Cedar Lake Trail System: Over 14 miles of trails loop around the lake, offering everything from easy walks to longer scenic routes.

🏖️ Swim + Relax: There’s a designated beach area plus plenty of shoreline spots to unwind and take it slow.

🌅 Unplug & Take in the Views: Bluff overlooks, quiet coves, and sunset reflections on the water… it’s the kind of place you come to disconnect.

Close to The Hills, but feels like a world away.
