Illinois State Parks

Illinois’s abundant state parks capture the state’s unique mix of natural wonders and historical depth. Starved Rock State Park draws adventurers with its dramatic sandstone cliffs and cascading waterfalls, while Giant City State Park offers winding trails through lush forests and massive rock formations. For a change of pace, paddle the calm waters of Castle Rock or take in the sweeping prairie views at Buffalo Rock. Illinois’s parks are as diverse as the state itself, offering surprises at every turn for nature lovers, history buffs, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
