Review & FAQ:

Brown County State Park is the largest in Indiana at 16,000 acres. Open year round, the park is exceptionally beautiful in the fall as the deciduous trees change color.

Closely resembling the Great Smokey Mountains, the park has been nicknamed the “Little Smokies.” Abe Martin Lodge, built in 1932 of timber found in the park and local stone, offers lodging, dining and an indoor water park.

Climb a 90-foot tall fire tower for views of the hills, hike or mountain bike along miles of trails, swim in the Water Park pool at the park’s lodge, or enjoy a guided horse back ride from the park’s saddle barn. Along Trail 5, visit the endangered Yellowwood tree.
