Itinerary Services

Are you looking for Shawnee Forest Guided Hiking and Itinerary Services by chance?

I offer these services if you need them. I’m a permitted hiking guide outfitter for the Shawnee National Forest. I’m also insured, and my hiking guide services are a part of an established registered business. Guide services and outfitters in the Shawnee must have a permit, or their liability can be very high.

I’m also a certified first responder with emergency management experience. I act quickly during a crisis and get into incident management mode to protect people’s lives before anything else.

If all this has kept you interested in my Shawnee Forest Guided Hiking and Itinerary planning services, please continue to read this article for more information.

Shawnee Forest Guided Hiking Services

I provide private guided hikes in the Shawnee National Forest. There might be a place you’ve always wanted to go to but don’t want to go to alone. I’ll take you there for a fair fee and ensure you have the best visit. I’ll even give you tips and knowledge to help you explore more on your own, but I’ll be here if you want to use my services again.

Please note that I only provide guided hiking and biking services on Shawnee National Forest land. I do not offer it on state-managed land at this time.

Shawnee National Forest Hiking Guide

I will take you along any designated hiking trail in the Shawnee National Forest.

For a fair fee, I provide Shawnee Forest Guided Hiking services for individuals and groups who wish to hire me. You choose where you want to go and how far you want to go. I charge per person for so many miles.

When hiring me to lead a private group hike, just note that the group may not be over ten people in designated wilderness areas. If you don’t know the area, let me know, and I can tell you.

I’ll do any designated trail you wish to hike in the Shawnee National Forest.

Shawnee National Forest Biking Guide

I am also insured to provide guided biking services in the Shawnee National Forest and on public roads in southern Illinois.

If you want to go mountain biking, for example, at Lake Glendale, I can provide this service. I also offer that service if you want to go road biking in southern Illinois. I don’t provide fast-cycling services because I’m not a fast rider.

Shawnee Forest Guided Hiking Itinerary Planning

Maybe you’re OK with hiking but need ideas on where to go. I was born and raised in southern Illinois. I know this region in and out. One mission of Hiking with Shawn is to promote southern Illinois. If you need an itinerary planner, I can be the planner of your dreams.

 

Basic Itinerary Planning

For a small fee, I provide essential itinerary planning services. This will cover hiking trails and dining, shopping, and sightseeing opportunities close to the hiking trails. I customize information, too. I only listed dining options with a particular food for one customer due to their allergy. I want you to keep enjoying southern Illinois, so my itinerary will be GOLD every time.

 

Advanced Itinerary Planning

I’ll add lodging options for the advanced itinerary planning option close by. I’ll also add some more information to make your trip better. All plans include maps, directions, images, video links, and fun activities.

Please Support Hiking with Shawn

Alrighty folks, I hope you have enjoyed this content. I provide it for free and it takes a while to create. If you would be so kind enough to support my efforts, you can do so by sharing this post with others, especially on social media. Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube Channel to see my latest videos, shorts and live streams. Follow me on FacebookInstagramTwitter and TikTok for unique content that you will only find on those pages. You might also join my Southern Illinois Hiking & Outdoor Resources Group on Facebook, too!

You can also support me by becoming a Patreon Supporter for as little as $3/month and you can cancel anytime (no contracts or catches). Patreons get access to extra features, exclusive articles, sticker packs, gifts and more. Consider buying official Hiking with Shawn Merchandise as another way to support me. I spend a lot of money on Hiking with Shawn and because of extremely high public land permit fees, I make very little money in return so everything helps.
