Fancy Farm is known statewide for its August picnic, and its waterfalls live across the river in Illinois. The drive goes north over the Ohio into the Shawnee National Forest. Burden Falls asks only a half mile of walking. Cedar Falls takes a 1.7 mile round trip with 200 feet of climb to reach a drop of about 80 feet. Both trails welcome dogs. The creeks run fullest after winter rain. Two falls inside the radius, close enough together to pair in a single day.

Located at 36.8003°N, -88.7928°W
