Event details
Early May is when Starved Rock sings. Join a naturalist for a sunrise birdwatching hike, when migrating warblers and other songbirds are most active along the Illinois River corridor.
Expect a gentle pace with frequent stops for listening and spotting, plus time to admire spring-green canyons and lingering trickles in the falls. Bring binoculars, a warm layer, and a thermos—this is the kind of morning that feels like a getaway.
