VACATION BY THE KISHWAUKEE RIVER
Located on the outskirts of the beautiful Rockford, Illinois, countryside, Blackhawk Valley is one of the best-kept secrets of the Midwest. And one of the most beautiful features of the valley is Blackhawk Valley Resort and you won’t have to leave it to have fun. Meet new friends at the main building and watch TV or play board games or shoot pool. The activities department plans lots of themed activities. Access the playground, mini golf, or basketball, just to name a few. Get involved in group activities, crafts, and bingo. Or you may prefer to relax at your site and enjoy sitting around the campfire or eating at your picnic table. If you need RV supplies, get them onsite. Blackhawk Valley Resort often gets complimented on the well-kept grounds and clean facilities, the huge mature oak trees that provide great shade, and the large level campsites. If you’re an adventure seeker and like to explore outside the resort, you’ll be excited to know that Blackhawk Valley is inside a secluded valley of the Kishwaukee River and RVers can choose to spend their day tubing or canoeing down “The Kish.” This river is too shallow in parts for motorboats,
so it’s known for tubing and paddling.
Nearby, visit Rockford, the City of Gardens and Rivers, known for various venues of cultural or historical significance, including Anderson Japanese Gardens, Klehm Arboretum, Tinker Swiss Cottage, the BMO Harris Bank Center, the Coronado Theatre, the Laurent House, the Burpee Museum of Natural History.

Klehm Arboretum is one of Rockford’s top destinations, with 155 acres of woodlands and botanical gardens that feature 1.4 miles of paved paths and 3 miles of wooded trails. And bonus, Chicago is not too far where you can find an endless amount of attractions, events, restaurants, sports, arts, shopping, architecture, and more!
