Had a great experience with Starved Rock River Adventures. We rented a pontoon boat and Tony was absolutely fantastic with prepping the boat, operating and safety briefings, and orientation to the river, beaches, facilities. I highly recommend making reservations early to ensure they have availability. Thanks for a fun day!
