Starved Rock Marina - Houseboating.org

Drive your houseboat not only along the main channel of the river, but into the heavily forested state park which is broken up by no less than 18 canyons. The moss-grown walls are shaded by heavy forests and flow with waterfalls. The Illinois River Valley combines the geological richness of mountain and plateau with the lushness and variety of Mid-Western foliage. You may want to houseboat during the fall, just for the colors.
