Gay Road Trip! Starved Rock State Park
Want to do something different and see one of the most spectacular sites in all of Illinois?
Get away for a day and take a road trip to Starved Rock State Park . It’s about a 2 hour drive from Chicago and can be a fun day trip or overnight camping trip.
Starved Rock State Park is a world apart from anything else in Illinois! You will know it the minute you enter the park, as you wind your car through the towering trees.
Amazing waterfalls are active in the spring and after heavy rains. 13 miles of trails to explore, plus, the Illinois River offers fishing, boating, extraordinary views and great places to relax. Take a picnic lunch. Some wine and cheese and enjoy the beauty!
Don’t worry if you can’t fit it all in, historic Starved Rock Lodge is just up the hill and is the only lodging located in the State Park. The Lodge is located on a bluff overlooking the Visitor Center and the Illinois River. Comfortable lodge rooms and cabins in the woods make for a great night’s stay when you visit the park.
If you want to camp, make a reservation. Camping is limited .
Get out of town for the day and check out this beautiful park!
