A frozen ice fall is fully intact in Ottawa Canyon on Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2023 at Starved Rock State Park. Frozen waterfalls are common at Starved Rock and Matthiessen State Parks during the winter season. This year, the ice falls weren't as impressive due to the warmer than normal January. Only a handful of ice climbers were seen in the park this year unlike years past.
