Announcing! A new way to hike called “Tails on the Trails” at Starved Rock. Every month, there will be a different activity you can do with your furry friend, or feathered friend or even scaly friend. Go on pet-friendly guided hikes and enjoy “yappy hour” on the Veranda.
Take the “Pet Pledge” and get a certificate for your pet. Join us and have some fun. We kindly ask that you pick up your pet’s waste, leash every time and everywhere, and finally stay on the Trails.
Our kick-off event is a Guided Hike on Saturday, November 9th at 10am (meet on the Pool Patio located on the west side of the Lodge). Hike to St. Louis Canyon and back with your furry friend, or feathered friend or even scaly friend. Your hiking guide will be Jaimie London, an avid Hiking Guide at Starved Rock Lodge. She is also the dog mom of Judge, a handsome, rescued Boxer, “I thought it would be a good idea to get you and your pet out in the Park responsibly and safely while taking in the beauty of nature.”
Check back to see the dates and times for upcoming events (including photos with Santa)! November 9th Guided Hike Cost is $15 per person. Pets hike for free, of course. Reservations are required.
