Rising Waters Flood River Parks

OTTAWA – Recent rainfall this past week has caused area parks to flood. Starved Rock State Park closed the boat launch and lower parking areas, but advised visitors that the upper lots and the south entrance off of RT 71 is open, as will most trails and the visitor center. In Ottawa, Allen Park is closed due to the flooding. According to the forecast by the National Weather Service, the Illinois river should drop dramatically by Tuesday.
