In 1959, two brothers, Roy and Jack Delabar donated 89 acres of land to the State of Illinois. The following year Delabar State Park was established and has served as a recreational outlet for Illinois residents ever since.
The park borders the Mississippi River and offers a beautiful natural habitat that is perfect for wildlife observation. More than 50 bird species can be spotted at Delabar State Park. Park guests enjoy camping, fishing, hiking, and picnicking.
