Prophetstown State Park

27 May 2008

Prophetstown is Indiana's newest state park. Located where the Tippecanoe River meets the Wabash near Battle Ground, Indiana.

The park's landscape has been shaped by ice from the glaciers, moving water, fire that helped maintain the vast tallgrass prairie and human hands. Native Americans hunted and lived along the two rivers for thousands of years. French trappers and traders found the land teeming with wildlife, and European farmers discovered that the rich, deep prairie soils grew healthy corn and wheat.
