Starved Rock and the Illinois Valley
Wooded canyons, seasonal waterfalls and viewpoints on the Illinois River less than two hours from Chicago.
To understand what Starved Rock and Illinois Valley are, you need to look at Starved Rock State Park, Matthiessen State Park and Hegeler Carus Mansion. These places give us a view of a territory marked by forests, riverscapes and natural spaces and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Nature and landscape
Starved Rock State Park
Starved Rock reveals its multiple canyons on a wide range of rocks, cliffs and views of the river. The often short and winding trails offer a dynamic reading of the relief and an alternation of high points and more intimate areas.
Nature and landscape
Matthiessen State Park
Matthiessen State Park, neighbour of the Starved Rock, offers an atmosphere of humid forest, cliffs and more felted footbridges. Both parks work well in tandem for a natural detour between canyons and inland lakes.
Place indismissible
Hegeler Carus Mansion
The Hegeler Carus Mansion displays impressive Second Empire architecture, with refined detail lines and rare urban presence for the La Salle area. The tour highlights the alliance between local industry and residential culture, visible from the room and decor scale.
