Elk Rock State Park
Score4.4Elk Rock State Park features dramatic sandstone bluffs, oak savanna and river shoreline—ideal for landscape and waterscape shots. Shoot sunrise/sunset light on the cliffs and reflections on the Des Moines River/Red Rock reservoir; fall colors and spring green-up are especially photogenic.

Weekdays and early morning
