Visit Starved Rock this summer!

If you have never ventured the hour south to visit Starved Rock State Park, you are missing out. The park is 2,630 acres in size, boasts miles of walking and horseback trails, and is home to gorgeous waterfalls. It's a great day trip to plan this summer, so pack a picnic lunch, put on some sensible walking shoes, and explore the deep canyons and nature trails.
