Nason sits on the south side of Jefferson County, a small village where lake life shapes the week. Minutes from Rend Lake, residents enjoy boating, fishing, and birding supported by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Rend Lake trails, beaches, and campgrounds. Weekends drift toward open water or prairie overlooks at Wayne Fitzgerrell State Recreation Area for walking, biking, and wildlife watching. Daily needs and major employers are an easy drive in Mount Vernon, while festivals and shops in Benton add options close to home.
Families tap into practical K–12 options in surrounding districts, with bus routes serving rural addresses. For affordable higher education and workforce training, Rend Lake College offers transfer degrees and technical certificates nearby. Culture lovers find exhibits and concerts at Cedarhurst Center for the Arts, and anglers never tire of crappie, bass, and catfish from the lake’s coves. Housing ranges from classic farmsteads to newer builds on acreage, with space for gardens, workshops, and boats. Life in Nason favors porch conversations and starlit skies, yet it stays connected to regional amenities and care.
