  • Starved Rock State Park is a state park in the U.S. state of Illinois, characterized by the many canyons within its 2,630 acres (1,064 ha). Located just southeast of the village of Utica, in Deer Park Township, LaSalle County, Illinois, along the south bank of the Illinois River, the park hosts over two million visitors annually, the most for any Illinois state park. A flood from a melting glacier, known as the Kankakee Torrent, which took place approximately 14,000–19,000 years ago led to the topography of the site and its exposed rock canyons. Diverse forest plant life exists in the park and the area supports several wild animal species. Of particular interest has been sport fishing species. Before European contact, the area was home to Native Americans, particularly the Kaskaskia who lived in the Grand Village of the Illinois across the river. Louis Jolliet and Jacques Marquette were the first Europeans recorded as exploring the region, and by 1683, the French had established Fort St. Louis on the large sandstone butte overlooking the river, they called Le Rocher (the Rock). Later after the French had moved on, according to a local legend, a group of Native Americans of the Illinois Confederation (also called Illiniwek or Illini) pursued by the Ottawa and Potawatomi fled to the butte in the late 18th century. In the legend, around 1769 the Ottawa and Potawatomi besieged the butte until all of the Illiniwek had starved, and the butte became known as "Starved Rock". The area around The Rock was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960. The park region has been the subject of several archeological studies concerning both native and European settlements, and various other archeological sites associated with the park were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. In the late 19th century, parkland around 'Starved Rock' was developed as a vacation resort. The resort was acquired by the State of Illinois in 1911 for a state park, which it remains today. Facilities in the park were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, which have also gained historic designation. (en)
  • Park stanowy Starved Rock (ang. Starved Rock State Park) – położony jest nad rzeką Illinois w w hrabstwie LaSalle w północnej części stanu Illinois i obejmuje obszar 2 630 akrów (1 064 hektarów) wysokich, stromych, zbudowanych z piaskowca skał o beczkowatym w większości kształcie, pomiędzy którymi wody opadowe i liczne strumienie powycinały w ciągu milionów lat 18 głębokich kanionów. Na terenie parku znajdują się trzy szlaki wycieczkowe o łącznej długości 19 km. Porowata skała łatwo przepuszcza wodę, co przyczynia się do bujnej wegetacji na dolnych stokach, które są ostoją licznego ptactwa (z dzikimi indykami i orłami na czele) i zwierzyny, jak jelenie, bobry i piżmowce. Wody rzeki Illinois obfitują w wiele gatunków ryb jak sumy, szczupaki, karpie i zębacze. W plebiscycie zorganizowanym wiosną 2007 roku został wybrany jednym z siedmiu cudów stanu Illinois. (pl)
