Starved Rock Lock Access provides boat launch facilities on the Illinois River near the historic Starved Rock Lock and Dam, operated by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The access point offers parking and a boat ramp for recreational paddlers and anglers, with nearby amenities including the Starved Rock Visitor Center and state park facilities.

Paddlers should be aware that recreational craft must follow specific lock entry procedures, including yielding to commercial barges and obtaining clearance from the lockmaster via VHF radio or phone before entering.
