Rock Men

Pretty cool and very random for the area. Beautiful lake to walk around. We parked behind the YMCA with no problems. [Jen O., 03/22/2013]
The Rock Men. Rock Men

These are statues made of rock, affectionately known as the "Rock Men." They are right along the Rock River in Rockford. Really neat artwork that is a bit bizarre.
