About this event

Less than 100 miles from Chicago, Starved Rock State Park, opened to the public in 1939, offers beautiful hikes of varying lengths through 13 miles of dramatic canyons, bluffs, and waterfalls. Wildlife is abundant, as are bald eagles who nest throughout the park. Fishing on the scenic Illinois River is also available for anglers, as are historic Trolley ours of the area.
The historic and rustic Lodge is full- service offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner in their large dining hall. The Sunday brunch is outstanding! Food and cocktails are also available from the Back Door Lounge, and outdoor lunches can be ordered on the Veranda, weather permitting. For snacks, ice cream, wine, etc. the Cafe can serve as a takeout or to eat in their limited seating area.
All rooms have free wifi and amenities including a mini-fridge, microwave, free coffee-maker. The lodge’s indoor pool is open all day for guests.
This a self-pay weekend. Each participant should register on the Club’s website, then call the Starved Rock Lodge Reservations office, 815-667-4211, to book your room.
