Starved Rock

Illinois is home to the #1 state park in the Midwest Region. Starved Rock in Oglesby, IL is a fascinating hike, but from a kayak, the views are even better.

Have you started filling up your summer calendar with plans yet? If you're from Illinois, then you know Starved Rock State Park has to make the summer bucket list. However, this summer is going to be different than the rest. Everyone has pretty much been inside/at home for the past year due to the COVID-19 pandemic...

The weather in the Rockford area this past weekend was supremely springlike, kinda cold and rainy.

Apparently, we need to forget all about The Bean in Chicago.

If cabin fever hasn't hit you yet, then you're a rare breed. Personally, I've found getting out in nature one of the few ways to stay sane during lockdown. It's a great way to get exercise, be outdoors, and stay safe right now. And now we've got more options for our outdoor adventures...

If you like ghost tours, Starved Rock has some good ones because of its haunted history.

Illinois residents may soon have to pay a fee to see this beautiful waterfall under legislation that passed an Illinois Senate committee last week.
