Sightseeing

Just a 10 minute drive from Kishauwau's Starved Rock Area Cabins with 13 Miles of gorgeous hiking and beautiful waterfalls (certain times of the year). You won't even know you are still in Illinois. Don't forget about the Starved Rock Visitor Center or Lodge to get a refreshment afterward.

Just a 10 minute drive from Kishauwau's Starved Rock Area Cabins. Matthiessen State Park is not as well known as Starved Rock but is my personal favorite for hiking. There is a park in the Dells entrance. Also with miles & miles of hiking! Tip: Head down to the wishing well. Kids love the pool of water in the bottom with caves & caverns to check out.

Kids love this place for the 2 penned in buffalo. More primitive hiking than Starved Rock & Matthiessen. It sits about 15 minutes from Kishauwau property.

Neighborhoods

Ottawa is the largest town in this area and is a quick 20 minute drive north east of Kishauwau's Starved Rock Area Cabins. It has a beautiful downtown area with plenty of shops and eateries and a beautiful water feature in the middle of Washington Park downtown. Very historical with this being where the Lincoln Douglas debate took place way back when. There are beautiful murals painted on many of the old brick buildings downtown.

Food scene

One of my top picks. Quaint little place to get a bite to eat if you are in Ottawa. Lunch or dinner. Just enough off the beaten path that you wouldn't find it without the locals knowledge but well worth it. Highly recommended
The Cheese Shoppe and Deli
