General Description

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.

This is a new state park with minimal facilities. Trails, camping, and picnic are current facilities. Planned future accessible facilities include picnic areas, Ohio River boat ramp with loading ramp, and scenic overlooks.
