Matthiessen State Park

Hiking the upper and lower dells, waterfalls and the Vermillion river trail.
I hiked about 6 miles, spending 2 hours in the dells/canyons area and 1 hour on the river trail. The dells were very impressive with their high waterfalls and beautiful canyons. There are also caves you can walk through at the lower dells, they are at the end of the canyon by the waterfall! The river is also nice. I may try to come back to kayak it. It was also a lot less crowded than Starved Rock State Park, which is only a few miles away. Thanks for watching!
