I love the expansive views and the water features that only add to the scenic beauty of this park. There is also a paved path running through the park that makes much of it very accessible. I didn t venture much beyond the pond today due to the cooler temperatures and the fact that more clouds were rolling in but can definitely see myself coming back and exploring it further. I also spent several minutes talking with the staff in the visitors center and would be amiss if I didn t point out how helpful, friendly, and informative they were.

This is a nice state park. There are scenic trails and playgrounds. There is a campground, farm, and waterpark (I haven't been to those, so I cannot say much about them).There's even a ring of rocks memorializing the Native Americans that used to live here. I take my family here every so often. It's worth a look if you like state parks.

We live in Lafayette so its really is worth it.
Playgrounds and farm are enjoyable we haven't been to the pool yet. Kids enjoy it they go nearly every week.

It was very nice and clean. The public restrooms were very clean and stocked. The public pool was very fun to enjoy. They have a lazy river in the pool area a long with a couple water slides. They barn yard has a variety of animals that they take care for all though out the year. They also book classes, like how to make your own soap and things like that. It is a very fun place to visit and camp also. They even have a campground area if you would like to stay for a while or just for a night.

It's a very different park than what I would consider most state parks, which often center around forests or lakes. Here, most of the terrain is through the prairie, although there our some nice trails closer to the river. There is a working farm with educational exhibits, although I have not personally checked it out. And from just driving by, I wasn't a huge fan of the campground, which looked to be sites that are fully exposed to the sun for the most part with less trees than I'm normally accustomed to. Nevertheless, everything was very clean while I was there and would still encourage checking out this park to get a unique feel for a different type of ecosystem than you might normally be used to.

Nice park and clean facilities. It s a good example of Indiana s natural prairie, and it provides some historical information of the area. There s a nice path for biking and a few short trails. However, if you re not local, it s probably not worth the drive. It does have some lovely wildflowers in the spring though!

First Time at Prophetstown State Park, and it was Awesome! Finished the 15km Trail Run Race Series by dinoseries.com DINO! I plan on returning to visit the Native American village. The single track trails were Fun to Run!

Great Park. Good biking and hiking trails. Working 1920s farm is very interesting to see. Indian village is historical. There is a small lake (pond size) that offers good fishing for all. There is access to the Tippicanoe and Wabash Rivers if you can hike or bike along some trails. The aquatics center is is great for kids with a lazy river for adults. The campgrounds is clean with a large restroom/shower building. Half of the campgrounds is full hookup. There is a monument area for the Indian tribes that were in the area. Much of the park has prairie grass which is impressive in it's size in the late summer and early fall.
