Grizzly Jack's Grand Bear Resort.
Where water park fun meets natural wonder.

Welcome to Grizzly Jack's Grand Bear Resort at Starved Rock!

Grizzly Jacks Grand Bear Resort is located next to Starved Rock State Park, one of the most scenic parks in Illinois. You can hike the trails, explore the canyons or fish the Illinois River. The 18 dramatic sandstone canyons at Starved Rock were formed by glacial melting and stream erosion. The natural beauty is breathtaking. You can also climb Starved Rock itself and learn about the true legend of a group of Illinois Indians who died there in the 1700's.

Have a great outdoor adventure with your family in a wonderful natural setting.

The trails are designed for easy hiking and climbing. Steps are built over the roughest terrain so everyone can enjoy the scenery. You can bird watch, see a white-tailed deer a bald eagle or raccoon family. There are plenty designated picnic areas and spots to fish the river with the kids. After your Starved Rock adventure, head back to Grand Bear Falls for a relaxing dip and a grand night's sleep!

Grizzly Jack's is located on 60 acres of peaceful wooded resort and we're right across the road from Starved Rock State Park, Illinois' most unique family recreation area. Take a morning and hike the canyons, climb Starved Rock or stroll by the Illinois river. There are plenty of other local activities to choose from including horseback riding, golf, Matthiessen State Park and antique shopping in some great small towns.
