Starved rock is beautiful, especially in the fall. Bring insect repellent, water or other drink for hydration, some sandwiches or snacks, jacket in case it's cool, and please wear good, sturdy hiking shoes or boots. Also, please stay on the trails and get yourself a map of the park's trail system. There have been deaths there in the recent years due to people going off the trails and falling off cliffs. Otherwise, it's a perfectly safe place. Also, enjoy the waterfalls but be careful walking near them. I slipped and fell on my butt once near a waterfall. You'll find many good photo opportunities in the park. Enjoy!
 
bring a backpack filled with water, a packed lunch, snack bars, batteries depending what kind of camera you have, and a pocket knife (just in case). have fun!
 
Starved Rock kicks a$$! Insect repellent isn't necessary, we used to go around this time of year, and the insects aren't out anymore. It gets chilly so bring a decent coat but don't overdue it. Bring water and plenty of film, you'll definitely see something you'll wanna take a picture of! Have a great time.
