About
Start with a hike to the top of Eagle's Nest Bluff. That's where a 50-foot statue, called The Eternal Indian or the Black Hawk Statue, watches over the park.
Sculptor Lorado Taft wanted it to appear as if Chief Black Hawk was coming out of the ground. View the Rock River and the surrounding hillsides from this vantage point.
Explore verdant hiking trails through the rest of the park. Tall trees and thick underbrush create layers of green from top to bottom. Birds and small mammals love this place. Carry some binoculars to see these creatures up close.
Launch your boat just across the river. Summertime depths of the Rock River average 3 feet, which makes for a gentle float trip. Catch several game fish, including bass, bluegill, crappie, catfish, pike, and walleye. Then, relax at your campsite after a long day
