Chain O'Lakes State Park, State park with connected lakes near Albion, United States.
Chain O'Lakes State Park is a nature area in Indiana featuring nine lakes that connect to each other through natural waterways. The shores stretch for several kilometers and are surrounded by forests and open spaces.
The park was established in 1960 to protect and open the lake landscape to the public. A one-room schoolhouse preserved inside shows how education worked in rural farming communities long ago.
The Nature Center shows how people use these lakes and forests, and why the natural surroundings matter to visitors from the region. You can see how local wildlife and plants shape the experience of being by the water.
Visitors can walk on various trails or paddle and boat on the lakes using quiet motors. You can stay overnight in small cabins or at camping sites with electric hookups.
Eight of the lakes connect through natural channels, forming a continuous water route that you can navigate by boat. This connected system is unusual and makes the park special for people who enjoy water travel.
