Prophetstown Woodland Bluffs and Rivers Loop

The hike starts at the parking lot located at the farthest eastern point an automobile can drive in the park (approximately 3 miles from the park entrance). Catch Trail #2 near the southern part of the parking lot--you'll see a mowed path to the woods--that's the start; you'll soon reach a scenic overlook. Take a few minutes to look out at the prairie floodplain. Continuing on, the trail will combine with a paved cycle/walking path for about 0.25 miles. Moving along the prairie, the trail will turn to loose gravel and, eventually, a grass and dirt path. Visitors will observe various wetland restoration projects, indigenous tree plantings, and a stabilization project of the bank along the Wabash River. Following along the Wabash River, the trail turns where the Tippecanoe River flows into the Wabash. Hike through the woods with the Tippecanoe River as your escort. The trail will then cross a bottom land prairie and will lead hikers to a 1.0 mile woodland bluff trail that offers great views of the prairie you just came from. Follow the gravel road and catch Trail #2 again where you originally left it. Reverse your path here and exit where you entered.
