Brown County State Park

Brown County State Park spans 16,000 acres of forested hills, valleys, and ridges with over 20 miles of connecting roads through dense woodland.

The establishment of this Indiana state park in 1929 marked the beginning of its role as a major recreational destination in the Midwest region.

The Abe Martin Lodge within the park continues the regional architectural tradition with its wooden construction and integration into the natural surroundings.

Visitors can access multiple campgrounds with Class A electrical sites, basic Class B areas, and specialized zones for horse camping throughout the calendar year.

The park contains rare Yellowwood trees along Trail 5, while the surrounding terrain presents formations shaped by glacial activity during past ice ages.
