Morrison-Rockwood State Park

A trip to picturesque Morrison-Rockwood State Park
offers many memorable experiences. A large sign in the
shape of Illinois, fashioned from angle iron by a
blacksmith, greets visitors at the entrance.

Beautiful Lake Carlton, a stream-fed reservoir,
features an abundance of ducks and geese, and is
considered a prime location for fishing.

Equestrians may use a 14-mile trail through the park.
The trail has a watering well and an overnight camping
site with shelter.

Directions
Morrison Rockwood State Park can be reached from
Chicago by taking the East-West Tollway (I-88) west to
IL Rte 78. Go north on Rte 78 thru Morrison and follow
the signs. On IL Rte 78 follow the signs to Damen Road.
Take it to Crosby Road about 2 miles. Turn left on
Crosby Road, again following the signs, to our entrance
in about 1.5 miles.
