"A great place to visit to get away! We came for a weekday getaway in a cabin, and it was fabulous. Cabin 18 was well secluded with only one cabin nearby (about 75 yards away). It was a 2 minute walk to a nice little playground, perfect for our 4.5 year old! Beautiful hikes, a neat little school house to visit (lots of programs if you go on the weekend!). Our stay was quite due to the time of year and being the weekday. We didn't try any water features (other than beautiful views during the hikes! But they have a beach, canoeing and kayaking, and great set up foe fishing, either by boat (easy access boat ramps) or piers. Lots of little places to host a family gathering. Would highly recommend!"
"Love this state park. Campground is run well and overall the whole property is very well maintained. Nice beach area and a place to rent kayaks and other small boats. The water levels were very low so attempting to kayak the whole 9 lakes was too hard this go around as we had to get out or push through 1-3 inches of water multiple times inbetween the lakes. This isn't the property's fault ... just stinks the water was low when we went. Overall, absolutely love this park with PLENTY to do and enjoy the great outdoors!!"
"The pictures on the website do not do it justice. This beautiful park has everything! The lakes and streams in between allow you to paddle from one lake to the next. The hiking paths have incredible biodiversity, especially in flora. The campground was clean with a lot of tall, shady trees. Our family, which included 2 teens loved this park."
"First time at Chain o Lakes this past weekend. I thought the park was very nice with lots of things to do. I stayed on one of the rustic sites and was happy with it, site 109. The site was described as full shade but that was before the big tree off to the side was taken down. Now there is a new little tree planted in its place so you get the morning sun a little bit. Pictures were taken before the crowds came in. Nice camp store. The bathrooms, shower rooms and pit toilets need to be flattened and rebuilt. Indiana needs to do what Michigan is doing and spend some of the American recovery act money on their state parks. With this park only being an hour and a half away, I can see me going back again. It was a grocery store in town called Village Foods and they had a nice size bundle of wood for $3.50. The camp store charged $6.50"
"Staff did well with busy weekend and were very kind. Lakes were beautiful and kayaking was a must. Even as a first time kayaker I was able to pick it up easily and equipment was easy to use. I recommend getting to the boat/kayak rentals early as they are not up for reservations and during busy season it can be hard to get one. Such a beautiful experience!"
