Starved Rock


Each winter the many waterfalls located in the canyons of Starved Rock freeze solid, creating intricate ice sculptures. Some tower 80 feet in height and 30 feet in width, all are spectacular.

Visiting some of these canyons in winter will require a strenuous hike of 3 or more miles one way, in ice and snow along paths with long drops next to them - still it's worth the trip.
