Rockwood, IL

Rockwood is a tiny, peaceful village set right along the banks of the Mississippi River in Randolph County. Living here means having the outdoors in your backyard, with the islands and dense bottomland woods of the Middle Mississippi River National Wildlife Refuge surrounding the area. It is an especially appealing spot for anyone who enjoys quiet river days, fishing, and watching bald eagles and waterfowl drift over the water. If you value solitude and open scenic views, this little riverfront community offers plenty of both.
