Park History: In the 17th century, the land that is now Rock Cut State Park was occupied by tribes such as the Miami, Mascouten, Fox, Sauk, Potawatomi, Ottawa, Chippewa and Winnebago peoples. In 1932, after the Blackhawk War, the land was ceded to the United States and white settlers, including Scots, Canadians, and New Englanders arrived and helped to establish the local towns and build the railroads.

Flora and Fauna: This park provides habitat for numerous plant and animal species. These include foxes, squirrels, raccoons, deer, waterfowl, and over 100 wildflower species. Please treat their home with respect.
