Reviews
"Enjoyed the park even in the rain & snow. Sites stayed somewhat dry because they are paved with picnic table on a well packed stones area. Unfortunately the grassy area did end up a bit swampy. Covered bridge was cool & made it to the top of the dam. There is a really nice swimming pool & camp store. Planning on camping there again."
"We hiked about 8 miles on the west side of the park. Saw a bald eagle a barred owl, hawks and another eagle- maybe female or immature bald eagle. Also this creepy dolls head!"
"This park looks like fun all year round. They have a nature exhibit in the building across from the pool area right near the lake. So many beautiful stops for nature photos and lots of fishing spots. This is Definitely a place that could be fun for the whole family, team, troop, or just a couple walking around."
"This park is my happy place. It's where I go to kayak and fish and usually I always catch at least one fish every time I go. Which is usually once every few weeks, some times I go once a week. But it's quite. There's lots of wildlife and the scenery is good."
"Beautiful park! Located off US50 in Indiana, heavily wooded area. Lots to do, great walking trails, picnic and playgrounds, boating and fishing. Booked online my site# 071 was listed as a moderate slope but in my opinion it was steep. Bathrooms were clean, good showers with lots of hot water. Enjoyed my stay here."
