Charlestown State Park is located in southern Indiana with easy access from I-65, 8 miles to the east on state road 62. With scenic vistas of the Fourteenmile Creek valley and elevation changes of over 200 feet, Charlestown has much to offer the visitor with this diversity. While hiking the rugged terrain you will see Devonian fossil outcrops and areas of karst sinkhole topography. Bird watchers will enjoy the 72 species of birds, including bluebirds, black vultures and an occasional Bald Eagle.

Park Visitor Online Reviews
October 4 First Time visit by Randy
Walked the trail by the river. Very quiet and peaceful. Neat cliffs and rock ledges. Several other trails available. Saw some old remenats of the old Charlestown Landing. Relax and watch the river traffic go by from either one of two viewing vistas on the river bank. Lots of parking and a boat launch. One trail was closed due to construction. Several old train cars left to rot. Great photo op.
June 8 Still a young park by Matthew
Charlestown State Park camping area lacks wooded lots as it is still very young. However they have full hookups and nice showering facilities. They have a few nice trails that are not to challenging. This is a good option to let the kids play and typically quiet with lots of free lots.
