Effingham, with a population of 12,000, is located in the south-central portion of Illinois. Effingham County, whose economy is driven by service, transportation, manufacturing industries, as well as agriculture, has 32,000 residents.

The Effingham Park District - its facilities include recreation of all kinds. Modern gyms, multipurpose rooms, and more make up the district's rec center, located on the grounds of one of the city's three parks. These parks include courts for tennis enthusiasts, ball diamonds for public and league use, and wooded trails for a quiet walk or long hike. The Kluthe Memorial Pool serves thousands looking for some water play, and next to it is an 18-hole miniature golf course.
		Effingham is also home to 800 acres of beautiful water at Lake Sara, which is surrounded by a wooded shoreline and Lake Sara Beach. Clean, modern campgrounds, resort cabins, and plenty of picnic facilities draw outdoor enthusiasts year-round. Locals and visitors are lured here for the bountiful fishing, boating and water skiing opportunities. A short drive in any direction will prove that if it's not in Effingham, it's very close. East-central Illinois is home to limitless outdoor adventure. Nature trails for hiking or biking are located at several state parks within a 30-mile radius of Effingham, including one which is also home to the 19,000-acre Lake Shelbyville. The incredible Shawnee National Forest with thousands of unspoiled acres is a short drive down a scenic Illinois road.
Located sixty miles west of Effingham, Carlyle Lake offers the peaceful retreat of a small town combined with the grandeur of Illinois' largest manmade lake. With 26,000 acres of water and 13,000 acres of surrounding public land, Carlyle Lake offers diverse recreational opportunities and is the perfect scenic getaway for millions of visitors each year. Two hours' drive west along I-70 is the city of St. Louis with all the ammenities expected of a city with 2.8 million residents located within the metro area.
