#StarvedRock State Park is a state park in the U.S. state of Illinois, characterized by the many canyons within its 2,630 acres (1,064 ha). Located just southeast of the village of Utica, in Deer Park Township, LaSalle County, Illinois, along the south bank of the Illinois River, the park
Linguist Father #JacquesMarquette and cartographer #LouisJolliet visited the Grand Village of Kaskaskia just across the river from #StarvedRock in 1673. The Rock is prominent in the background in this illustration.

I went through the Starved Rock Lock this past weekend.

The weather was gorgeous, the Illinois River was calm and I did not get seasick.

The trees haven't gotten their cue so the leaves are still green in the canopy.

I didn't see any of the invasive carp that star in those viral videos of people getting hit by fish leaping out of the water.

Going through the lock was pretty cool, ngl. 😺

In the canyons.

The bottom of the canyons were more moist than the bluffs were yesterday, so we did spot some #mushrooms and #fungi today.

Today, my wife and I hiked through the canyons of #StarvedRock State Park in Illinois.

The bluebells and redbuds were bursting out in blooms.
