Flock To The Rock And Stay The Night!

See bald eagles, stay at legendary lodging locations

While this year’s ‘Flock To The Rock’ festivities may look a little different, you can still save big by planning an overnight trip to see Starved Rock’s famed bald eagles! Book a stay at either Starved Rock Lodge and Conference Center or Kishauwau’s Starved Rock Cabins and receive a free “Welcome Bag” and $20 gift certificate.

Running now through March 31st, The Heritage Corridor Convention & Visitors Bureau’s Flock to the Rock, Spend the Night’ promotion gives you the chance to take home a complementary swag bag and $20 gift certificate when you book a night at one of two legendary lodging destinations near Starved Rock!

Be one of the first 100 people to book a stay at either Starved Rock Lodge and Conference Center or Kishauwau’s Starved Rock Cabins and receive a free “Welcome Bag” upon check in.

The “Welcome Bags” will include an official “Flock to the Rock” Eagle backpack featuring the LaSalle County logo and will include a Travel Guide, luggage tag, miniature “Flock to the Rock” eagle, pen, and locally made hand sanitizer from Star Union Spirits! You will also receive an invitation to visit their Visitor Center in Utica, conveniently located near I-80, where you can redeem your invitation for a gift certificate valued at $20. These certificates can be used at popular Starved Rock Country drinking and dining destinations like August Hill Winery, 9th Street Pub, Uptown Grill and the Starved Rock Lodge Gift Shop!

This socially distant Flock To The Rock promotion marks the the arrival of Starved Rock Country’s famous bald eagles. Every year, a small stretch of the Illinois River, located between Starved Rock State Park and the Illinois Waterways Visitors Center, is turned into a temporary Winter camp for those enormous eagles.

The Illinois Audubon Society’s Plum Island Sanctuary, located at the base of the Starved Rock Lock, has been used as wintering site for decades, giving guests a reliable chance at spotting these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. The island’s seclusion, sturdy trees and proximity to a non-iced-over section of the river, make Plum Island particularly desirable real estate for these feathered fliers.

Eagle season runs through the end of March, when this rare lodging program will also conclude. Take advantage of this family friendly socially-distant nature vacation, book a night at Starved Rock Lodge and Conference Center or Kishauwau’s Starved Rock Cabins today!
