Prophetstown State Park is located where the Tippecanoe River meets the Wabash near the town of Battle Ground northeast of Lafayette. The park's landscape has been shaped by ice from glaciers, moving water, fire and human hands that helped maintain the vast tall prairie grass. Native American people hunted and lived along the two rivers for thousands of years.NOTE:Many mapping services are wrong. Take I-65 to Exit 178/SR 43 north of Lafayette. Go south on SR 43 for a very short distance and turn left onto Burnett Road. Take a right on Ninth Street to Swisher Road. This is a hard left immediately after the veterinary office. Once on Swisher Road, cross over I-65 and find the park gatehouse.
