Crowder State Park, State park in Grundy County, United States.
Crowder State Park extends across 1,912 acres of land surrounding an 18-acre lake, featuring forested slopes and thick groves of sugar maple and oak trees.
The park, established in 1938 with a $10,000 state legislature appropriation, honors Major General Enoch Herbert Crowder, who developed the Selective Service Act of 1917.
The park contains prehistoric American Indian mounds from the Sac and Fox tribes, plus remnants of Dr. William Preston Thompson's brick residence from 1833.
The park offers 17 miles of trails for hiking and horseback riding, along with camping facilities that include basic and electric sites with modern restrooms.
A vehicle bridge constructed around 1939 by the Civilian Conservation Corps earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
