Things to do in Carbondale

Carbondale is the largest town in the southern tip of Illinois, an area of wooded hills, orchards and sandstone bluffs that feels far removed from the flat cornfields to the north. Southern Illinois University anchors the local economy, along with the region’s hospitals and medical school programs, government offices and the tourism businesses that serve the Shawnee National Forest. The town became briefly famous as the crossroads of the 2017 and 2024 total solar eclipses, and it remains a gateway to some of the Midwest’s most underrated outdoor country.
