    Experience the beauty and history of Lowden-Miller State nestled in the Rock River Valley, just 3 miles south of Oregon. Spanning 2,291 acres, this wooded haven boasts 120-foot bluffs along 3.5 miles of riverfront, adorned with hardwood and pine trees.



    Its historical significance is rooted in the early 20th-century efforts of Frank O. Lowden (1861-1943), Illinois' governor from 1917-1921, who championed proper land use and reforestation. His dedication saw the planting of an estimated 500,000 trees, creating a lasting legacy.
