Did you know that our beloved Hoosier state is home to 25 state parks? That means you can pile in the car, drive in almost any direction, and soon be surrounded by nature, with several perfect spots to choose from to celebrate a holiday weekend with friends and family.
Depending on which Indiana park you choose you can incorporate hiking trails, swimming, and even horseback riding, as well as some fun ranger-led educational adventures. Several locations have on-site accommodations if you’d like to extend your stay for a few days of fun and activities.
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources is your best bet for finding out which amenities are available, as well as any special programming in store for holiday weekends. With a little time online you can soon be out the door with a cooler full of food, some bug spray, and a bag (or several) of marshmallows for the fire.
