A new unforgettable autumn adventure awaits as we sail on the Sainte Genevieve riverboat, North Central Illinois’ newest attraction. The Sainte Genevieve debuted in 2023 and travels one of the most scenic stretches the river has to offer. The three-hour cruise departs from Starved Rock State Park and travels upriver to historic downtown Ottawa. Along the way we’ll sail beneath legendary Starved Rock and through the locks where you will marvel at this impressive engineering feat while learning about river transportation. The relaxing cruise gives you the chance to see the natural beauty along the shoreline on an autumn afternoon. Before we board the Sainte Genevieve, the group will enjoy a great lunch at the Starved Rock State Park Lodge, built in the 1930s and featuring its iconic log walls and two-sided stone fireplace overlooking the park. Whether you’re a nature enthusiast, history buff or just looking to relax on a fall day, you won’t want to miss this tour!
