Good morning, Gordon. Starved Rock is located on the Illinois River.
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". Supposedly, a few escaped by walking backwards down the hill, which made it look like they were actually walking “uphill”.
Great area in winter to view Bald Eagles.
