About the Charlestown State Park
Charlestown State Park, located in southern Indiana, was once part of the Indiana Army Ammunition plant. With scenic vistas of the Fourteenmile Creek valley and the Ohio River, the park offers rugged hills, deep ravines, and diverse wildlife. Visitors can explore various trails, such as the Rugged Trail (2.4 miles) or the Moderate Trail (1.4 miles), which showcase the park's natural beauty and history. The Rose Island Loop Trail (.9 miles) takes hikers to the site of a 1920s amusement park, while the 5K Course (3.1 miles) offers a challenging running route. Whether you're a nature lover, history buff, or fitness enthusiast, Charlestown State Park has something for everyone to enjoy.

Reviews of Charlestown State Park
"DH and I signed up for the Devil's Backbone guided hike at Charlestown SP. This hike is only given in the winter and is closed to the public otherwise. Jeremy, a DNR Naturalist, was our guide, and he was outstanding. The hike itself is quite short and, except for a very short incline, is assessable to most. There are numerous downed trees, roots, and other trail obstacles however which might prove difficult for some. The story of this area is the real reason to go, and Jeremy does a masterful job engaging and drawing one in. That and some stellar views of the Ohio River make this a very fun hike. We finished off our time at CSP by taking a peak at Rose Island and returning via trail 3 which boost some pretty cool cliffs by the river."
"Loved the Rose Island walk through time, then back to parking lot through trail 3. Trail 7 in the am. Beautiful Limestone Cliffs along the Ohio River, turkeys, beavers, moss."
"Charleston State Park is a serene retreat for nature lovers like me. The tranquil trails offer scenic views of lush greenery and peaceful waterways, perfect for hiking or a leisurely stroll. The park's well-maintained facilities and picnic areas make it an ideal spot for a family outing or a relaxing day in nature. The serene ambiance and beautiful landscape of Rose Island make it a hidden gem worth exploring!"
"Cleanest State Park we have visited. Nice maintained trails. Signage was clear, and easy to follow. Rose Island Amusement Park remnants are marked. Flood of 1937 that ended the Amusement Parks existence is marked at various points showing the depth of water. There is a boat launch area."
"I had an amazing time hiking here today. We hiked trail 3 to trail 7 (Rose Island loop), and I loved every moment. The history behind Rose Island is so interesting to me. Trail 3 going through the trees is grassy and dirt, stone, natural, up and down, steep and narrow. It is suggested to wear bug repellent, possibly use a walking stick, and be aware of Indiana's natural snake habitat here as we saw at least one black snake on our hike today. Restrooms are pit toilets. Lots of parking. Rose Island is very cool and worth the hike through or along the paved path. The park is leashed dog friendly. There are several picnic tables along the trails."
