Prophetstown State Park invites you to create your one-of-a-kind scarecrow for the 16th Annual Trail of Scarecrows, Oct. 1–Nov. 2.
Support your local community, highlight an organization, promote special events, and more to thousands of visitors this fall. Individuals and families can join in the fun, too.
Scarecrows will be featured along the park’s paved accessible trail for easy hiking, biking, and strolling. Promote recycling and upcycling by repurposing used items and materials to create fun (and funky) art for this special event. Participation is free, and there are no registration fees.

The public can vote for their favorite scarecrows by donating to the Interpretive Services fund for education, arts, culture, and history programs at the park. By donating $1, park guests can cast one vote for their favorite scarecrow. Prizes are awarded for the most votes, so spread the word to vote for your scarecrow!
If you are unable to sponsor a scarecrow, please consider donating merchandise or gift certificates for contest prizes, or gifting a monetary contribution for Interpretive Services programs.
