Lowden State Park

Physical Address: 1411 North River Road, Oregon, IL 61061
(Ogle County)
Description: One of the most picturesque sites along the Rock River. Legend has it that Chief Black Hawk, as he left the area after the Black Hawk War, talked of the beauty of the area and admonished his captors to care for the land as he and his people had. Lowden State Park was established to care for the land and allow visitors to share in the beauty as well. The park serves as a memorial to Gov. Frank O. Lowden, who served Illinois during World War I. Take your selfie with the scene by the statue in your background. (pictured).
