Location: Starved Rock State Park, La Salle County, Illinois
Water Source: La Salle Canyon Creek
Drop: 40 Feet
Directions: Follow Rt. 178 for 2.75 miles from the Utica Exit off I-80, past Starved Rock State Park entrance) to Rt. 71. Take Rt. 71 east (left) for 2.7 miles to the Trail Parking area for the Owl/La Salle/Tonti Canyons Trailheads. Hike 3/4 miles to the falls. There are some stairs along the trail.
Notes: I visited La Salle Canyon Falls on April 20, 2002. You can pick up a map at the beginning of the trail.
The first two pictures show the falls as I approached them down the trail. I took a picture of a young teenage boy to see the size of the falls. The third photo is from behind the falls. The next two photos are from the other side, continuing along the trail under the falls and then off to the right. There is a small drop a little downstream in the last photo of the falls.
I saw a lot of wildflowers along the trail. This photo is of Bluebells.
