Starved Rock State Park Trail Improvement Project

under construction

A trail improvement project at Starved Rock State Park in Utica temporarily closes trail access to the park's French Canyon and affects several trails and access points. The closure is expected to last through June and impacts trailhead access to the top of the canyon, trails from Starved Rock Lodge’s parking lot, and trails leading to the canyon from behind the park visitor center. Other affected areas include parts of Brown Bluff Trail, Campanula Trail, Tonti Canyon and bridge, the trail from LaSalle Canyon to Tonti Canyon, and stairs from the west entrance to the boat ramp. The park, lodge, and other amenities remain open during the project, which affects only a small area.
