  • While camping at Starved Rock we wanted to take a couple of the hikes to see the well known areas by the locals. First we took the short hike up onto Starved Rock and got some spectacular views of the Illinois River. Mr. Pete joined us for the hike into the St Louis Canyon, a place that's infamously known for the Murders at Starved Rock. While this area of the park has an unfortunate past, it's a beautiful place to see and visit. We enjoying hiking with Mr Pete and listening to him explain the local geology and history. This visit was certainly special for us and we only wished we had more time to visit at the park longer.

    As an Ottawa and descendant of Pontiac I really enjoyed seeing the plaque about my ancestors. Thank you for sharing. I hope to get to that area one day and see it for myself.

    If you want to camp in Iowa, I highly recommend Ledges State Park - it's a lot like Starved Rock, but even better (I am definitely NOT prejudiced just because we live in Iowa).

    I'm just a mile and a half south of starved rock. If you want some tenderloins check out smitty's in Leonore they're pretty well known in the state.

    • @user-bt5rl3rh3b
      @user-bt5rl3rh3b 8 місяців тому

      It is a myth- the signs at the park even say that the story behind the name is a myth

    I’m looking forward to visiting Starved Rock. You’ve got to come to WI! Illinois residents flock to WI in droves in the summer. Lots of great places to camp and scenery to see. We are on 2 Great Lakes and have lots of great interior lakes!

    Just ask if you want any help about where to go in Michigan. If you like museums THE HENRY FORD in Dearborn is awesome. It has large semi-truck size steam engines. It's one of the best museums in the nation.
