The Rock Guardians are well worth the stop. Beautiful, large warriors along a delightful walkway around the lake.
[Terry, 06/03/2016]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]
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.
