UAlthough Indiana is not home to mountains or oceans, it is host to twenty-four state parks and many other protected nature preserves, lakes, and forests. Many of them with their own beauty and nuances.

I’ve set out to visit all twenty-four parks, our lone national park, and many of our hidden lakes and forests that adorn our landscape. Below I’m hoping to log each of them as I visit… THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.. more to come as I have visited a few spots and not taken photos. Future plans include filling each page with information on the park, its history, and area information along the way.

This section is currently being updated. Check back Summer 2025 for new photos and progress on my quest to visit and hike all of our state parks!
