Whitewater State Park - thousands of sandhill cranes

Whitewater State Park

I've mostly been stuck at home the past few weeks as I've been recovering from major surgery. On…read moreoccasion, I've been able to get friends to take me places or at least go for a drive to get me out. One such drive was to Whitewater State Park. Whitewater State Park was the 16th state park in Indiana and was founded in 1949. It's actually the third largest. It has 200 acre Whitewater Lake along with shoreline hiking, flat-water boating, swimming, fishing, and camping opportunities. It has 9 miles of horseback riding trails. The park area was originally purchased by Union, Fayette, Franklin, and Wayne counties to serve as a memorial for those lost during World War II. Additional activities include picnic areas with shelters (reservations required), interpretive naturalist services, 1 boat launch ramp at Whitewater Lake, bridle trails, cabins, fishing/ice fishing, hiking trails, canoe/paddleboat/rowboat rentals, swimming, and two marinas. Camping includes 236 electric sites, 45 non-electric, and 37 horsemen's primitive sites. There's a camp store, dumping station, and youth tent area. There are five hiking trails - all are considered moderate in difficulty. They range from 1-2.7 miles in length, though at least one also has a short loop. There really isn't a single trail that I'd say is accessible, though there are parts of trails I was able to access. That said, Whitewater in general isn't particularly wheelchair friendly other than in the more truly "public" areas. As an experienced wheelchair user, I doubt I'd head out on these trails alone. Whitewater hosts a variety of events throughout the year. While I wish it was more accessible here, I still consider this one of Indiana's more underappreciated natural gems.

Lovely state park that has something for everyone. Swimming, horseback riding, boat rental, hiking…read morein the moderate to rugged zones, a lake beach, camping, picnic areas.... It's very clean and well- kept! Hiking trails are well marked. If you are near the Brookville .... Liberty area this is a great park for all!

We were treated like family. They closed at 4, and we were coming in around 4:20. They stayed open…read morefor us and let us shop in the store. The pull thru site was fantastic. Nice spacing between sites . Super clean, quiet when we were there. You could hear road traffic all night. But if your sound machine was on or air conditioner, you didn't hear it. I would go back.

Clean, nice place but for the traveler maybe not recommended. Pool closes at 5 pm, showers were…read moreclean and warm BUT you have to hold button down the whole time showering. Has anyone done this while trying to shower a young child? Terrible if you have long hair and trying to shampoo. Let's be honest you pay double at Jellystone, pay extra for everything that comes free at other campgrounds like the bouncy pillows, let me adjust the water temp and take a hot shower. The water in shower has lots of iron, potable water my daughter said tasted like blood lol (that's the iron) If you are traveling with kids through the area, you want the pool to be open late, there isn't a lifeguard on duty anyway. Let parents have access to the pool so we can swim with our kids that have been seatbelted for hours. That would make a campground family friendly not Cute characters. Other wise most of the staff was very friendly and facilities clean. Gaga ball was very fun late at night but bring your own kickball or volleyball. Because the office closed at 5 pm and so does most everything else including cornhole. But if you don't mind paying extra for all the fun activities you get free at other campgrounds (we camp a lot, just camped from Ohio to Montana, and Ohio to Wyoming) and have are staying more than one night it's a nice clean place, was definitely the most expensive we camped at in our 3 weeks of camping nightly.
