Starved Rock & Matthiessen State Park, April 28-29, 2025
Starved Rock State Park treats us to cascading waterfalls, sandstone canyons, spring flowers, and being able to stand upon cliffs overlooking the Illinois River. At Matthiessen Park, we will get our feet wet as we rock-hop over the stream and admire 3 waterfalls. These parks are absolutely gorgeous with 1,000’s of spring wildflowers in full bloom.
Over two days we will explore 7 miles of terrain, see 10 waterfalls, 9 canyons, 1,000s of spring flowers, and countless memories. We will stay overnight at the historic log-built Starved Rock Lodge. Hot tub, sauna, and large pool included.
