Black Hawk State Historic Site - Rock Island (IL)

5 /5 Renee: This place will always be one of my favorites, from the gorgeous trails, access to the river, plenty of picnicking spots, and room for your furry friends to roam. There’s also some nice pavilions to have celebrations or cookouts, plenty of creatures and plants to teach kids about nature, and the easiest part is it’s still in the city! This place and Sylvan Island are my go-to spots when I want to take a walk with my friends, and I enjoy the size of the park and kindness of its many patrons. It’s hard to get out in nature these days but this place makes it accessible for most everyone

5 /5 Lisa Kinney: Great place to hike, explore or just take a relaxing break. We went this last time in the fall when the foliage was just stunning. Also some great historical landmarks of Native American and Illinois history.

5 /5 Suzanne Short: We walked across the sky bridge... played at every park area... ventured to the trails and it was outstanding. They have trails attached to more trails a person could get lost. They do have a map at the entrance... take a picture of it...I may or may not have gotten lost! It was bliss!

5 /5 William Randall: I absolutely, thoroughly enjoy Blackhawk State Park. I can tell there are barge loads of effort that goes into keeping this Park as beautiful, as well as Grandeur that it has become. I feel total peace, freedom as well as free education, every single visit that I make to this location. Staff here are very welcoming, knowledgeable, professional, and the utmost form of kind you are able to find anywhere these days. Bravo staff of Blackhawk State Park, you are amazing, your stewardship of the land shines through in every way.2 thumbs up, extremely high!!!

5 /5 Celeste Petersen: Great place for a wedding! Great price. And Rhonda was amazing to work with! She helped me save the day with my wedding and had a list of vendors for me once I picked to go with her. She was great at communication and had great items for rent to use for your wedding. Thank you again Rhonda!
