Shawnee Bluffs Canopy Tour is a profitable, outdoor adventure business and eco-tourism property located in the heart of Southern Illinois. Established in 2013, this award-winning canopy tour has built a strong brand reputation and loyal customer base while offering a high-quality, fully guided zipline experience in a truly unforgettable setting.

The business sits on 83 privately owned acres surrounded by the Shawnee National Forest, ensuring lasting seclusion, privacy, and pristine natural views. The park features a professionally designed 8-zipline canopy tour, 3 aerial suspension bridges, and 3 short scenic hikes — all constructed in an eco-friendly manner by Geronimo Construction, a premier builder of world-class zipline courses. Platforms are 100% tree-based, allowing for annual adjustment that preserves the health and growth of the trees.

Guests begin their experience at a warm and welcoming check-in and retail space, complete with a gear room and outdoor staging area. All operating equipment, safety gear, signage, and established booking and management systems are included in the sale. City water and infrastructure are in place, and the business is ready to operate from day one.

With an average 4.9-star rating on Google and over 200 "Excellent" reviews on TripAdvisor, Shawnee Bluffs Canopy Tour is one of the region’s most beloved outdoor attractions. It is located along the Southern Illinois Wine Trail and in close proximity to Giant City State Park, Crab Orchard Wildlife Refuge, and other top regional destinations. The area receives over a million visitors annually and is within a 2–5 hour drive of major metro areas like St. Louis, Nashville, Indianapolis, and Chicago.

The entire 83-acre property remains available for future development, including lodging, glamping, treehouses, cabins, RV hookups, or event venues. The terrain includes natural rock bluffs, wildflower meadows, open clearings, and a large boulder-lined creek — making it ideal for eco-resort expansion or wellness and retreat programming. With increasing demand for nature-based accommodations and limited supply in the region, the land offers tremendous potential for passive income and multi-seasonal growth.

The business is being offered on a fully turnkey basis, including all assets, operating permits, and future bookings. The experienced team of guides is expected to stay on post-sale, and the current owner is committed to providing long-term transition support, guide training, and service to the ziplines and platforms.

This is a rare opportunity to own a thriving adventure business with land for expansion, located in one of the Midwest’s most scenic and rapidly growing nature tourism corridors.
