Welcome to Little Lusk

Eighty-five acres of woods, trails, and family tradition.

Tucked into the rolling hills of the Shawnee National Forest, Little Lusk has welcomed families, riders, and gatherings for generations. It's the kind of place where the coffee's strong, the porch swing's open, and every trail seems to lead somewhere quiet.
