Starved Rock Lodge, located in Oglesby, Illinois, is nestled in the middle of scenic Starved Rock State Park (a National Historic Landmark) featuring stunning sandstone canyons and seasonal waterfalls. Starved Rock Lodge is the only lodging facility located within the park. Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, the lodge is a unique, architectural masterpiece with a massive Great Hall anchored by the largest, two-sided limestone fireplace in the Midwest. Guests remark that the ambiance is much like that of lodges in National Parks.

The most popular group tours activities are the lodge’s Tribute to the Stars series of musical performances. The talented singers and performers take guests on a walk down memory lane with their renditions of famous hits by Elvis Presley, Patsy Cline, Dean Martin and others. A hot buffet lunch is included in the ticket price. The setting is the historic Great Hall.

Trolleys play an important role in the tours offered by Starved Rock Lodge, providing a comfortable way see the region. Land & Water cruises aboard the Eagle I river boat offer guests a slow-paced cruise on the east side of Starved Rock State Park offering a view of the forests, foliage and wildlife from the Illinois River. Tours of the Lodge and guided hikes are often added to enhance the guest’s experience.

Starved Rock Lodge features comfy hotel rooms, cabins, an indoor pool complex, the Back Door Lounge, Main Dining Room and Café-- all under one roof. In warm weather, outdoor dining on the Veranda offers a stunning view of scenic LaSalle County and the Illinois River Valley. Starved Rock Lodge is more than a day trip – it’s a lasting memory.
