"Stayed one weekend camping and mountain biking. The park has diverse trails for MTB, hiking, and horse riding. The shower rooms and restroom at the campground are kept clean. Love the Hesitation Point trail. A good mix of technical then smoother end to the North Gate. The park is busy in the fall season. The views at the vista points during the season are amazing. Lots of picnic tables scattered around under the shades of trees and vista points."
"This is a wonderful absolutely beautiful state park. Make sure and visit during fall time if you can, the views are stunning and the leaves are so colorful & bright. We love hiking the trails, checking out the fire watch towers, exploring around the lakes. Great campgrounds. Bathrooms are always nice and clean. The nature center is nice & the attached bathrooms that are open even when the center is closed is nice, always clean & you can refill your water bottles here. Dog friendly, we've brought along our 3 dogs to walk the trails lots of times. Nice pool during the summer. Horseback riding. The playgrounds are great too and my kiddos love them. This park is definitely a must visit. So beautiful & peaceful! An outdoor lovers DREAM!"
"Excellent nature spots. Good for kids too! Ample parking spaces ! Oh, I absolutely love coming by for horse riding ! Sometimes horses are available immediately and on busy days you might need to wait for a few hours! Explore the trails while you wait.. it’s worth it :)"
"Largest and most scenic state park in Indiana. Hopped on a couple of the trails today without any issue. Passed a couple mountain bikers, who had more guts than me on these trails. A few pull offs for great views without hiking. Lakes. Camp grounds. Horse trailers. Really can’t go wrong."
