February 19 Pack out what you pack in, inc. yourself by Local hiker
This park is an amazing place to hike and see nature, but please be careful. In the past few months more people are getting hurt, the canyons are deep and if you keep getting closer to edge to see whats down there, well you eventually will, possibly flat on your face. Many city and suburban folks come hiking and think this is a city park not so, and then our emer. personnel have to fish you out of a canyon. Please come and enjoy just be careful, and may i add take your water/ soda bottles, food wrappers, etc. with you there is no personnel time for cleaning the trails after you, you are youre own janitor.

September 7 STAY ON THE TRAIL!!! by Autumn Lover
Just recently we have been hearing about Starved Rock not being safe. This park is a great park, and there are so many railings and trails that the beauty of the park is suffering for it. The people getting hurt at this park are not staying on the trails. Please do not let people who do not obey the postings destroy this wonderful place. The point of starved rock is to be around nature and enjoy scenery- you can do that on the trails. Starved Rock is a good and safe place to go- for now. Please stay on the trail so that some of the beauty is allowed to remain.
