Mounds State Park

Park is beautiful and well maintained, with many nature trails. The pool was especially appreciated on the very hot days of our visit. Rangers were friendly, but be prepared for hordes of raccoons in your campsite at night. Bathrooms and showers were well maintained.

Annual State Park Permit perfect Easter gift for our adult children and grandchildren. Our son held a beautiful wedding at the pavilion. Small and very clean state park. Camping, swimming, and hiking. Historical sites to visit.

Beautiful park. Excellent camp site. Very clean. The employees there were very nice and professional. Even the gentleman mowing was very courteous to campers. The walking trails were great. The park has alot of history that i wasn't aware of. Great place to visit even if your not camping. We will visit again!

Beautiful nature walk area. Cool little tidbits of history spread throughout. Definitely worth making it out here and seeing what it's all about. Didn't stay in it but there was a nice campground here as well.

Great State Park experience. Nice visitor's center with displays and animals that will satisfy kids and adults alike. Clean bathrooms and a small gift shop. Each employee we encountered was helpful and friendly. There are a variety of shorter trails with a variety of difficulties. A nice shaded playground area is available in the northern section. The south is dominated by the amazing earthworks. The only thing I would suggest is some sort of signs directing you to the various trailheads. Once in the woods, the trails are sort of all jumbled close together, but if you can read a basic map, you won't have any trouble. A lot of the trails close to the mounds were flooded, or had large mud swamps to traverse. Especially in front of the information sign by the Great Mound. It seems like this park doesn't get a lot of state funding for outdoor upkeep, unfortunately, because the trails and fencing all are in need of repair.
