Prophetstown State Park, State park and nature preserve in West Lafayette, Indiana
The 2,000-acre park features restored prairie grasslands, wetlands, and river confluences where the Tippecanoe meets the Wabash River north of Lafayette.
The land marks the location of an 1808 Native American settlement led by Tecumseh and his brother Tenskwatawa before the Battle of Tippecanoe.
The Farm at Prophetstown within the park demonstrates agricultural practices from the 1920s and presents Native American farming traditions through educational programs.
The park maintains 110 camping sites with electrical hookups, an aquatic center with water slides, and multiple hiking trails through prairie and wetland environments.
Trail 3 extends for 3.5 miles through restored wetlands to elevated viewing points of natural hillside water seeps called perched fens.
