Buffalo Rock State Park A History Grounded in Preservation
Buffalo Rock State Park near Ottawa preserves a site with deep history from Joliette and Marquette era explorations to Iroquois conflicts. The Cranes divested to the state in 1912, transforming the rock into a protected recreation site famed for picnicking hiking and nearby Illini Starved Rock and Matthiessen parks. Accessibility requires advance ranger arrangements for large groups and leashed pets with adult supervision for minors.
