According to a list compiled by Taste of Home, the best place to have a picnic in all of Illinois is at LaSalle Canyon at Starved Rock State Park. Taste of Home listed this location as the perfect place to have a picnic because of its amazing waterfall views.

Here is what Taste of Home had to say about the best place to have a picnic in Illinois:

"Waterfalls aren’t only reserved for tropical destinations. At Starved Rock State Park you’ll find multiple cascades right in the Midwest. The hike to LaSalle Canyon is about two miles from the visitor’s center, but the unique opportunity to picnic behind a waterfall is worth the trek."
