Welcome to Southern Illinois - Solid Hunting only an hour and a half from St. Louis!

Here at the Big Muddy River Hideaway, our family is excited to be offering access to our 75 acres of hunting ground in Franklin County. The property is comprised of close to 25 acres of agricultural croplands, with about 40 acres of huntable woodlands and riparian habitat along the Big Muddy River. The remaining acreage is where our family's house and shop are located, along with our lodging accommodations. This part of the property is on the eastern edge of our acreage.

On the land, we have multiple tree stands set up with game cams as well. We've had good hunting and wildlife populations over the years. 

Our packages are set up to offer multi-day experiences with options to add lodging. We ask that all groups have a minimum of two hunters. 

The property is located just outside of Benton, with local grocery stores and gas available in town. Access to Interstate 57 is less than 5 minutes away.
