WRONG DIRECTIONS: Many mapping services (including Google Maps, Mapquest, and Apple Maps) are providing incorrect driving directions to the park. Use Exit 178/SR 43 north of Lafayette to access the park. Do not use SR 225. There is no park entrance and the road has a one-lane bridge with a weight restriction.
STATE ROAD 225 BRIDGE CLOSURE: There is NO access from old S.R. 25 onto S.R. 225. The S.R. 225 bridge is closed. The park’s visitors center can only be accessed off S.R. 225 (through Battle Ground). Also, there is NO access to the park itself off S.R. 225.
FLOODING: Parts of Trails 3 and 4 occasionally flood. Use caution and do not cross flooded areas. Do not walk 'off-trail' around flooded areas because there are many wetlands. If you encounter flooding, turn around. For up-to-date information about trail status, contact the park office.

Prophetstown State Park, IN
Established in 2004, this is Indiana's newest state park where you can enjoy camping, hiking, biking, fishing, birding, and wildlife observation. The park is unique because of the large expanses of tall prairie grasses, blooming native wildflowers, and numerous wetlands called fens that wait to be explored. Several picnic areas, shelter houses, playgrounds and a 110 site modern campground, all of which are ADA accessible, can be found within the park.
Tippecanoe Battlefield Museum 2 miles; Wolf Park 5 miles; Celery Bog and Lily Nature Center 7 miles; Purdue University 7 miles; Clegg Botanical Gardens 7 miles; Columbia Park Zoo and Water Park 9 miles; Fort Quiatenon 13 miles; Delphi Canal Museum 15 miles and other cultural attractions in Lafayette.
