Enjoying the outdoors in Illinois is important to do before the long winter arrives. Starved Rock State Park offers lots of walking and hiking paths with beautiful views of the Illinois River.
The park is known to have sparkling waterfalls, however to my disappointment the day I visited there was no water to make the falls due to a drought. Along the hike to Eagle Cliff Overlook, I was lucky enough to see a huge doe eating in the brush.
Another great feature of the park is that it is dog friendly. SO many sure you bring out your pups for some fresh air.
The walk did make me hungry and I was happy to see the visitors center had a snack shop. It served homemade artisan ice cream. Yummy!
