It starts in higher land and then drops into the Kankakee River Valley. Because of this, the river has cut through the rock, forming a gorge. The majority of this gorge is in the state park. There is also a trail in Kankakee River State Park that follows Rock Creek. The Rock Creek waterfall is approximately 1.5 miles upstream from the main entrance of the state park. This waterfall is on land owned by Camp Shaw-was-nas-see, a private youth camp. The cliffs can reach as high as 80 feet high in this area from the park entrance to the falls. It is a very popular smallmouth bass fishing destination for many northern and central area Illinois residents. Other streamsThe U.S. Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) shows 12 streams named Rock Creek in the state of Illinois. References1. ^U.S. Geological Survey.
