Prophetstown is located where the Tippecanoe River meets the Wabash near the town of Battle Ground northeast of Lafayette. The park’s landscape has been shaped by ice from glaciers, moving water, fire, and human hands that helped maintain the vast tall prairie grass. Native American people hunted and lived along the two rivers for thousands of years.
Through the unique partnership with The Farm at Prophetstown, visitors can discover 1920s farm lifestyles, Native American culture and take a stroll through 900 acres of restored prairie. The park is restoring native habitats such as wetlands, wet slopes called fens, prairies, and open woodlands.
The Aquatic Center features a 30-foot tube slide, body flume, lazy river float area, adventure channel, zero-entry pool with play features, and an aquatic activity area with basketball. The bathhouse has showers, changing areas, restrooms, lockers (guest provides the lock), and a concession area. During the summer, pool hours may change because of weather and staffing. Please contact the property office for exact times before your visit.
The Farm is a non-for-profit 501c3 located within Prophetstown state park.
This beautiful 1920s era Farm is made possible by the kind support from our community and many contributors.
