Step into a Starved Rock Country Spring
” There really is nothing so spectacular as the arrival of spring in the Midwest”
There really is nothing so spectacular as the arrival of spring in the Midwest. After the serenity of the beautiful winter season, the segue into spring can seem like a slow tease, but if you look closely, the signs of spring are all around. Trees and bushes waiting to burst forth in vibrant shades of green, hardy spring bulbs pushing up through the ground in a kaleidoscope of color, birds chirping and bunnies dancing as they prepare for the arrival of their babies. You don’t have to look far to witness the renewal of the natural landscape.

It’s time for you to emerge from your winter cave to go out and explore a new one! The Starved Rock Country area is spoilt for choice when it comes to outdoor exploration options.
