In the park you will find trails and overlooks along the Illinois River. Eighteen canyons make up the backdrop of your adventure. The park is located along the south side of the Illinois River. Fascinating rock formations are found inside the park. |

If you visit the park in early spring, when winter is thawing, you can view sparkling waterfalls at the heads of all canyons. The bluffs provide points for enjoying spectacular views. |
