The Illinois State Park system grew slowly at first. Fort Massac was the state's first park, in 1903, after that additions were sporadic. Starved Rock State Park was added in 1911 and remained, by far, the largest of Illinois' State Parks until the 1930s.
In 1950, the park acquired a state charter to use the island as an airstrip known as Starved Rock Airpark. [5] A cable car shuttled visitors from the park to the island, where they could go on a plane ride for a fee. Severe flooding destroyed the cable car infrastructure in 1970.
