STARVED ROCK, ILLINOIS STATE PARK, Contains about 1,000 acres, located in La Salle County. As we climb among the ledges, over ivy-covered rocks and boulders, and descend almost perpendicular walls, we obtain a magnificent view of the beautiful FRENCH canyon; while all around us, in an equally wonderful spectacle, are massive walls of rock, chiseled and laid with amazing exactness many centuries ago by the hand of the Master Builder.
