Brown County is so beautiful and seems to never end when you stop at a lookout. I spent a couple of days there camping by myself for the first time and had a great experience. Maybe it's the atmosphere or the just the nature of the job but the staff are super friendly and seem to love being there and are very helpful. I'm definitely going to be returning soon!

We drove to Nashville, IN from Cincinnati with ease and hiked this state park with our dog for the better part of the day. We did the Discovery Trail, Friendship Trail, Trail 3 behind Abe Martin Lodge, and visited the Fire Tower, North Lookout Tower, and West Lookout Tower. The North and West Lookout Towers were the highlights of the man-made features of the parks. They provided decent views of the areas and were well maintained. The Fire Tower, built in the 1930s, was not worth the climb. The whole thing shook slightly as I ascended with others coming down, and the view from the top was not worth the climb it took to get up there. When it was built almost 100 years ago, I imagine the trees were shorter and provided a better draw distance on the land. Still, it’s a neat tower worth photographing. The trails we visited were nice. Nothing substantially better than anywhere else we’ve hiked, but well maintained and relatively easy. Our dog had a great time sniffing the path as we looped around Trail 3 and the others. We stopped by Hesitation Point and enjoyed a pretty good view, too. It’s $9 per car to visit. I’d say it was worth it for at least one visit.

Largest and most scenic state park in Indiana. Hopped on a couple of the trails today without any issue. Passed a couple mountain bikers, who had more guts than me on these trails. A few pull offs for great views without hiking. Lakes. Camp grounds. Horse trailers. Really can’t go wrong.

Excellent nature spots. Good for kids too! Ample parking spaces ! Oh, I absolutely love coming by for horse riding ! Sometimes horses are available immediately and on busy days you might need to wait for a few hours! Explore the trails while you wait.. it’s worth it :)

Beautiful park with rolling hills and lots of activities. We hiked trails 1, 2, and 3 and enjoyed the scenery. The lodge is rustic and historic. We LOVED relaxing in the many sitting areas and porches, playing at the Arcade, savoring the delicious food, and of course playing at the waterpark.

A very nice place to visit for nature lovers. Amazing views, lakes, trails. Plenty of places to have picnics. If you go before sunrise, you can see the sun rise, which is beautiful.

Love this state park! It's one of the biggest I've been to! It has great hiking and biking trails and all the bath houses are pretty clean! Although, i wish it had more of a swimming beach, but they make up for it with a pretty big pool! Overall, i highly recommend amd would camp here again!

We travelled with four adults, an eight year old, and a two year old. The whole crew enjoyed exploring the park! There are plenty of trails of varying difficulties, as well as multiple parking spots to take in fabulous depths of scenery. There is a lodge to stay overnight, as well as cabins and cabin suites to book a stay. Horseback riding is available, as well as a swimming pool. Many come here to fish in the lake as well. This is a bike-friendly state park. It is also pet friendly! We visited in May, and ran into very few bugs, which was a relief.

It is one of the best kept natural gems that we have been to recently. Everything is so well maintained and so beautiful. Living in Colorado made us believe that we have every taste of natural beauty here, but a recent visit to Nashville,IN, and then going to Brown County State Park changed that perception. Hikes around the Ogle Lake and Waterfall at Strahl Lake were amazing, and throughout the park, scenic drives and picnic tables/shelters are there. One can stay inside the park in a lodge, cabin, or camp out. If you are a mushroom enthusiast, then you can spend days studying countless varieties. Lake Ogle is full of water dwellers, too. Wild flowers are in abundance. 100 or so feet tall tree will leave you awestruck. Restrooms and playgrounds are everywhere.

Stayed one weekend camping and mountain biking. The park has diverse trails for MTB, hiking, and horse riding. The shower rooms and restroom at the campground are kept clean. Love the Hesitation Point trail. A good mix of technical then smoother end to the North Gate. The park is busy in the fall season. The views at the vista points during the season are amazing. Lots of picnic tables scattered around under the shades of trees and vista points.

First I'd like to share this is not free, you do have to pay for parking which for us was 9$ which okay fair, just didn't realize there was a charge. Other than that, what a marvelous place! SOOO many trails to choose from, some longer than other, some rougher than others, and some more mushrooms then others. Ha! Overall, if we are ever back in this area, we'd love to try more of the trails. Thank you!!

Brown County State Park is a nature lover's paradise! The park offers a diverse range of outdoor activities, from scenic hiking trails to picturesque picnic spots. The natural beauty, including the stunning views from the tower, is awe-inspiring. Well-maintained facilities and friendly staff make it a top-notch destination. Whether you're into hiking, birdwatching, or just unwinding in nature, Brown County State Park is a must-visit gem in Indiana.

Beautiful Park even in the winter. You can see a lot more when the leaves are gone. Planning on camping there again.

This is a wonderful absolutely beautiful state park. Make sure and visit during fall time if you can, the views are stunning and the leaves are so colorful & bright. We love hiking the trails, checking out the fire watch towers, exploring around the lakes. Great campgrounds. Bathrooms are always nice and clean. The nature center is nice & the attached bathrooms that are open even when the center is closed is nice, always clean & you can refill your water bottles here. Dog friendly, we've brought along our 3 dogs to walk the trails lots of times. Nice pool during the summer. Horseback riding. The playgrounds are great too and my kiddos love them. This park is definitely a must visit. So beautiful & peaceful! An outdoor lovers DREAM!

I was surprised to see so many cars in line to get in, but I get it that place is beautiful. The scenery is amazing, and in the next few weeks, as more trees change colors, it will be stunning. We just went for the scenery but they have loads to do. There is fire tower, stables, hayrides on the weekends. A nice lodge trails and pool in the summer. I'm sure I didn't see all they had to offer.

Beautiful park to visit in the fall. Horseback trails were great for all ages, 7-77. Close to Nashville, the two stops make for a great day out.

Beautiful, lots of picnic tables close pull offs. Good for elderly, disable who can not walk far. I was very pleased with the whole day at Brown County.

The facilities just don’t cut it and a they really should invest into boxing out large tent sites that are Leveled instead of on hill. Too many walking hazards that could be easily fixed too. Been going each year for 40 years with a Lot of people. Next Year I’m planning something NEW!! Updated but still Rustic!

Took my son and his two best friends recently. I love this place for both hiking and camping. It is best to come on fall. But gorgeous year around. I would go there anytime.

As far as state parks, there are better ones to visit. It is nothing remarkable. It appears to be camping friendly. There are two lakes. The trails don't necessarily have any cool features. Lots of biking trails. If you are looking for a state park in Indiana, I would suggest Spring Mill or Turkey Run.

One of the best fall colors I’ve seen. Arguably, as good as Upper Peninsula or maybe even better. The hikes had beautiful foliage

Beautiful area - who knew Indiana had hills like this?! Great fall colors and wildlife, perfect spot for a picnic and hike or camping with an interpretive center and activities (ex. Horseback riding).

Visiting Nashville and Brown County State Park is on our family's annual agenda. We always have a great time together and enjoying seeing the beautiful fall colors. This year we were in town on October 1st and 2nd, a bit early to see all the changing colors, but we still had a great time shopping, eating, and hiking! Hope the maps and menus help you plan your trip!

Really something for everyone here. Hiking, biking, horse trails, outdoor swimming pool, lodge with indoor swimming pool, playgrounds, cabins, camping, restaurant, picnic areas, scenic drives, horseback riding during the spring, summer and fall. It is easily accessible from Hwy 46 and a short drive from Nashville. One of Indianas' best State Parks full of adventures for the individual or families.

Gorgeous!! We actually went two days in a row to take family members. The lakes are not visible from the road but the drive is worth the trip. I loved seeing my last name on a cabin!
