Brown County State Park

Brown County State Park

Nicknamed the “Little Smokies” because of the area's resemblance to the Great Smoky Mountains, Brown County encompasses nearly 16,000 acres of rugged hills, ridges and fog-shrouded ravines. Glaciers from the most recent ice ages stopped short of the “hills o' Brown,” but their meltwaters helped create the narrow ridges, steep slopes and deep gullies of Brown County State Park. Indiana's largest park is a traditional fall color hot spot, with nearly 20 miles of tree-lined roads and many scenic vistas overlooking miles of uninterrupted forestland.
Lots to do at the park including:
Climb the 90' Fire Tower for a breath-taking view of the hills o' Brown.
See the rare (and state-endangered) Yellowwood tree on Trail 5.
Visit the nature center to see the rare, state-endangered timber rattlesnake.
Watch a sunrise or sunset from a vista.
