Mounds State Park, Archaeological state park in Madison County, United States.
The Indiana state park features ten earthwork mounds spread across a natural landscape with limestone bluffs along the White River.
The Great Mound, constructed around 160 BC by the Adena-Hopewell people, stands as the largest earthwork structure within the park grounds.
The ancient mounds within the park demonstrate the engineering capabilities and astronomical knowledge of prehistoric Indigenous communities in North America.
The Nature Center maintains daily operations from 9 AM to 4 PM, offering wildlife viewing rooms, animal displays, and interactive educational activities.
Multiple trails cross the park grounds, including a specialized path that identifies twenty tree species native to Indiana's forests.
