NORTH UTICA –  Trail access to French Canyon at Starved Rock State Park is temporarily closed.  The closure will last through June to accommodate the park’s ongoing trail improvement projects.  Closures include the trailhead access to the top of French Canyon, the trails from the Starved Rock Lodge parking lot, and the trail leading into French Canyon from behind the visitor center.  Hikers shouldn’t access areas with caution tape and construction signage blocking the trail.
