Biking the trails across from Buffalo Rock today. There are 4 campsites on this trail that I will need to revisit when it gets a bit warmer. Starved Rock State Park is just on the other side of the Illinois River. There's plenty to do in this area if you like hiking and biking!

Bald eagles soar above the Illinois River, where this charming town sits at the confluence with the Fox River. The historic city centre reveals architectural treasures, with Reddick Mansion offering glimpses into a more elegant past. Starved Rock State Park beckons just outside town with its dramatic canyons and waterfalls - nature's perfect antidote to modern life. Washington Square Park provides a leafy retreat for summer festivals. The Lone Buffalo brewery pours craft beers in a space that feels like a hospitable friend's living room. Buffalo Rock State Park offers riverside trails with unbothered wildlife. Come autumn, the surrounding bluffs burst into colours that would make an impressionist painter weep with joy.

For those looking to explore the city's key landmarks, cultural sites, and historical attractions, a stay of at least 2 days is recommended. This allows visitors to enjoy a range of experiences, including family-friendly activities, hiking in natural parks, dining at charming cafes, shopping at local boutiques, and attending seasonal festivals, all of which offer great value for money in this vibrant capital.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Ottawa, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. By enabling email alerts or push notifications, you could stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, maximising your chances to save. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you make informed choices. If rooms become available or prices decrease, you'll be among the first to know, enabling you to secure a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate based on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in an Ottawa hotel. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average.
