Located 5 miles south of Monticello off Highway 38, Pictured Rocks provides canoe access to the Maquoketa River with parking and shelter facilities available for paddlers.

This 726-acre wildlife management area is notable for its steep limestone bluffs that attract rock climbers and offer scenic hiking opportunities, particularly in spring for wildflowers and morel mushrooms.

The park is open daily from 4:30 AM to 10:30 PM with road access to the river.
