Snake Road is located in LaRue Pine Hills of the Shawnee National Forest in southern Illinois.
What makes this road unique? It closed twice annually so that snakes can migrate across. Vehicles are prohibited but foot traffic is welcome as long as wildlife isn’t harassed.
Over 20 species of snakes can be found here including three venomous pit vipers.
Snake enthusiasts (herpers) and wildlife photographers from all over the world run to snake road during migration while others run away.

La famosa Snake Road di Passo Giau nelle Alpi dolomitiche. Tortuosa strada di montagna immersa in una foresta lussureggiante a soli 15 minuti da Cortina d’Ampezzo.

Passo Giau and one of the most interesting roads in the Dolomites. This is so called snake road. Perfect for drone photography and videos. If you are patient enough some nice cars will come to say hello. Shot with Dji Mini 4 pro 😄

🐍Snake Road🐍
📍Jackson Co, IL

Twice a year, in spring there is a snake migration to and from the limestone bluffs and the swamp of La Rue Pines. Each year the road is closed to vehicle traffic while allowing visitors to walk through and witness the event. Due to the warm weather they have closed the road early, and with a big snake lover in the family we had to check it out.
.
🥾The road runs 2.5 miles along the 150-foot bluffs to your left and the Mississippi River Basin to your right making for a really unusual and beautiful landscape and views. Visiting so early we didn’t see any snakes but did see several salamanders.
.
🧭There are lots of additional areas to explore in the La Rue Pines and Bottoms area. Some of our favorites include
➕Little Grand Canyon
➕Oakwood Bottoms
➕Holy Boulders
➕Grand Tower riverfront/Devils Backbone

Pretty Dolomites, went there in October to enjoy the fall colours, avoid the masses and just escape day to day life for a week. Going out in the mountains making memories gives so much energy to keep on pushing! #mountains #italy #dolomites #sudtirol #seceda #trecimedilavaredo #snakeroad #adventure #memories #makingmemories #enjoyinglife

Sanger Haunted Place Snake Road.
We went to Snake Road in Sanger… and what we saw was NOT human. 🐍👁️🗨️
We caught a shadow figure in the dark and heard whispers with no one around. Locals say this road is cursed… and now we believe it.
Would YOU walk this road after sunset?
