         1. Black Hawk State Historic Site

            Black Hawk State Historic Site is a wooded, steeply rolling 208-acre tract of protected land bordering the Rock River. Prehistoric Indians and nineteenth-century settlers made their homes here, but the area is most closely identified with the Sauk nation and the warrior-leader whose name it bears - Black Hawk. The park offers picnic shelters with stone fireplaces, a museum of Native American life, a nature center, playgrounds, and several hiking trails.
