Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

From hiking, biking, and camping, to cross-country skiing, hunting, and geocaching, the things you could do while visiting Buffalo Rock State Park are endless. The park is situated on a bluff which was once an island in the Illinois River; standing there today, you will see amazing panoramic views of the river and the surroundings. For those who enjoy camping, you’ll be thrilled to know that there are three primitive camping sites which offer a beautiful way to experience nature without modern-day influences. The sites are only fitted with a fire ring and can only be access by walking or cycling.
