Prophetstown State Recreation Area
Prophetstown State Recreation Area is a 53-acre flat and wooded area along the south bank of the Rock River. Tree life largely consists of maple, cottonwood, oak and walnut you will likely encounter squirrels, rabbits, ducks, muskrats, raccoons and deer during your visit.
Anglers use a convenient concrete boat ramp to cast lines in the Rock River and fish for smallmouth bass, bluegill, crappie, catfish, bullhead, carp, sauger and walleye. There are no limitations to how powerful your motor is, but you can also cast lines into nearby Coon Creek for a change of pace. Swimming is prohibited, but there is an indoor pool only four blocks away from the park. The town of Prophetstown may be tiny, but it likes to Party In The USA more than Miley Cyrus and is known for its annual Fourth of July fireworks display.

1 campground in Prophetstown State Recreation Area
Quirky and kitschy, Prophetstown Campground is raining local attractions. Take the afternoon off from conoeing in the Rock River to venture into the tiny town of Prophetstown for seasonal festivities and awesome antiquing. Love the forest, love the lake and love the local coffee shop.
