The Lake Scene

Why Lake of Egypt?

The Lake of Egypt, located just six miles south of Marion, Illinois, is a secluded expanse of water with over 93 miles of breathtaking shoreline.

Whether you grew up here or just recently relocated, you’re sure to enjoy the serenity and the long summer days fishing, boating, exploring, and grilling on your deck as the sun goes down.

The Lake of Egypt is nestled right along the pristine Shawnee National Forest.  280,000 acres of rough mountaintops and rugged rock formations between the natural borders of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers provide a myriad of outdoor activities that everyone can enjoy.
