Castle Rock State Park is located near Oregon, Illinois, not to be confused with a park that shares the same name in California. It is renowned for its scenic sandstone bluffs and lush forests along the Rock River. The park's namesake, Castle Rock, offers stunning panoramic views, making it a popular spot for photography and hiking. Visitors can explore a variety of trails that meander through the park and offer opportunities to spot wildlife, wildflowers, and unique geological formations. As part of the Castle Rock Nature Preserve, certain areas within the park are protected for their ecological significance, featuring rare plant species and undisturbed habitats. While primarily a day-use area, Castle Rock State Park also offers a few primitive campsites.

This small state park on the edge of the Rock River, is not to be confused with that of California. There is indeed a Castle Rock State Park in the state of California. There are neither the same geological formations nor the same vegetation here.
