Description
Kankakee River State Park is home to 30+ foot limestone walls and several bouldering areas. The rock tents to be blocky and characterized by shelves and small roofs. All of the routes are toprope or trad with no bolted anchors. Climbing access was revoked after a drunk camper (non-climber) fell down a cliff - this page is for historical completeness and in the hopes that climbing here will be reopened some day. Please do not climb here.
