Summit Lake State Park, State park in Henry County, Indiana, US
Summit Lake State Park is a nature preserve in Henry County with an 800-acre lake, three boat launch areas, and 120 campsites with electric hookups. The grounds span about 2,680 acres and feature fishing zones, a swimming beach, and rental canoes for exploration.
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources established this state park in 1988 as a protected natural area. Its creation was part of a broader effort to preserve natural habitats across the region.
The Zeigler Woods Nature Preserve within the park holds native plant species and represents the first designated natural sanctuary in Henry County. Walking through these woods lets visitors see the regional vegetation that shaped the local landscape.
The park opens daily from 7 AM to 11 PM and offers various trails for walking and biking through the grounds. Visitors should prepare for outdoor conditions and can find information at beach and boat launch areas.
Low-lying wet meadows in the park serve as breeding grounds for migratory bird species such as black terns and sandhill cranes. These habitats are uncommon and important for sustaining these bird populations in the area.
