Looks like this event has already taken place.

Sat, Jan 27 – Sun, Jan 28, 2024 • 9:00am - 4:00pm

One Lodge Lane, Oglesby, IL 61348

Eagle Watch Weekend is a two-day, family-friendly event in Starved Rock Country that celebrates the American Bald Eagle in Illinois.

This event will offer many programs, activities and exhibits occurring simultaneously at four locations: Starved Rock Lodge, Illinois Waterway Visitors, Utica Village Hall Gym, and the Starved Rock State Park Visitors Center, which are all within a short driving distance.

All events are free and open to the public. If you’ve never witnessed seeing an Eagle in person, this will be the perfect event for you. Gather up the entire family and make this a fun family weekend surrounded by nature.

The Starved Rock Trolley will run throughout the weekend (from 9am to 4pm, both days). Trolley wristbands are $5.00 each and allow passengers unlimited rides from the Lodge to the Visitor Centers. On Sunday, there will also be a trolley stop at the Utica Community Gym and Starved Rock Country Welcome Center. Purchase wristbands as you board the trolley.
