Located on the Illinois River between LaSalle Peru and Ottawa, Starved Rock State Park is one of the state's most visited sites. The 125-foot high sandstone butte was named in the 1760's for the Illiniwck who, having taken refuge on top of the rock to escape enemy warriors, starved to death rather than face enemy capture.

The best way to enjoy all that Starved Rock and the Illinois River Valley has to offer is by a helicopter air tour. Starved Rock Air Tours provides two different tours by helicopter. Visit our Air Tours page for more details.
