Castle Rock State Park, Natural park on Rock River Hills in Oregon, US
Castle Rock State Park covers 2,000 acres of sandstone bluffs and rolling landscapes along the Rock River in northern Illinois.
The Friends of Our Native Landscape acquired the initial park land in 1921, leading to its establishment as a protected natural area.
Native American tribes named the Rock River 'Sinnissippi', meaning rocky waters, before European settlers arrived in the region.
The park provides facilities for boating, camping, fishing, hiking trails, and group picnic areas through its shelter reservation system.
The park features a prominent Middle Ordovician sandstone formation within the Sandwich Fault Zone, displaying white quartz and brown limonite coloration.
