A trip to pictureesque Morrison-Rockwood State Park offers many memorable experiences. Once inside, choose from a variety of recreational opportunities. Beautiful Lake Carlton, a stream-fed reservoir is one of Illinois top fisheries. Muskie, Walley, Catfish, Bluegill & Crappie are just some of the fish caught at Lake Carlton. From mid April to mid October we offer a Boat Rental / Bait Sales with a full service resturant. The site offers over 14 miles of Equestrian trails and over 4 miles of Hiking Trails. We have a two lane boat ramp for anyone wishing to bring a boat. We offer several picnic areas with picnic tables and grills for your use.
