Kayak Starved Rock Campground

Had a great time on our kayak tour. Jay was awesome!. Really love the lotus flowers. Buffalo Rock was a really cool place to take pictures. We were lucky enough to have really really good weather in low boat traffic. We did see a paddle wheel boat go by.

Jay was absolutely fantastic! Getting us out on the water felt effortless thanks to their calm guidance and great energy. It wasn’t just a lesson — it was an experience we’ll remember for a long time. (:

Kayak tour was terrific! The weather was perfect with just enough sun and little wind. Jordan was our guide and he did a great job pointing out sites along the river. He even spotted a Juvenile Bald Eagle for us to photograph. Overall, well worth the cost.
