A great state park with a nice lake and a great set of trails to hike. A great place to head to get outdoors but also social distance. The bison exhibit adds some umiqueness to this park. Full review by DKPuck

The herd (7 bison right now, I think) are in a very large enclosure that you can walk all the way around, visible at all times. If they are laying down in the center, that would be maybe half football field away. No calves this spring which is unusual, fun to watch! Close to the bison is a newly renovated fire watch tower, built in 1930s? It is the only 1 or 2 of original 32 built in forested Indiana at that time. It is a small and quiet state park. A campground, a small lake. the dakotas have the huge herds.
Q:
Is the fire open? We are camping here at the end of the month.
A:
The fire tower is not open yet. We will post on our FB page once approval has been received.
Q:
Are there fish in the lake? I recently heard a friend say that the lake was relatively new and I am not sure if that is true or not.
A:
Yes there are. We sell bait at the boathouse.
