An unforgettable adventure awaits on the Sainte Genevieve riverboat as we sail on the Illinois River between Starved Rock State Park and Ottawa, IL! The Sainte Genevieve riverboat is one of North Central Illinois newest attractions to sail on one of the most scenic stretches the river has to offer. The 3-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 witness the fascinating process of locking through as you’ll marvel at this impressive engineering feat while learning about river transportation. The relaxing cruise gives you the chance to see the natural beauty and hear the stories of the river’s history. Before we board the Sainte Genevieve, we are treated to a great lunch at the Starved Rock State Park Lodge, built in the 1930s, featuring its iconic log walls and two-sided stone fireplace, overlooking the park.
