Overview
A brief introduction to Prophetstown State Park
Prophetstown State Park commemorates a Native American village founded in 1808 by Shawnee leaders Tecumseh and his brother Tenskwatawa north of present-day Lafayette, Indiana, which grew into a large, multi-tribal community. The park features an open-air museum at Prophetstown, with living history exhibits including a Shawnee village and a 1920s-era farmstead. Battle Ground, Indiana, is a village about a mile east of the site of the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, a crucial battle in Tecumseh's War which ultimately led to the demise of Prophetstown. The state park was established in 2004 and receives about 335,000 visitors annually.

Wide open Prairies
This park is a cyclist’s dream. Their long and winding bike path is what makes this park attractive! That and the mini water park located inside the state park and the working farm also inside the park! Unfortunately the have little in the line of shade trees so this park is best visited in the spring or fall.
