    Whitewater State Park - thousands of sandhill cranes

    Whitewater State Park

    We came here on Memorial Day long weekend and totally enjoyed our stay. We stayed for three days…read more We were a group of 12 adults and six children. It was a very family driven place and there was a lot for everyone. The water area is so good when it's sunny and there's the play area for the kids the shelters for barbecue and picnics and a lot of trails which are pet friendly. The rain dampened our visit but the park in itself was extremely good. DNR facilities were 24/7 they kept a strong vigilance in the camp, which was very comforting. Other than that all service is like fire wood ice was available at short notice.

    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.

    hmmmmm, wasn't sure where to go with my review. This is an odd little park. Or maybe it isn't. We…read moredon't have much experience with private campgrounds so keep that in mind when reading this review. So as we were setting up the camper a staff member came over and gave us bracelets to wear for the weekend. No problem. But we were the only people we saw all weekend with the blue bands on, lol. If you enjoy loud parades of country music blaring golf carts, this is the park for you. ALL weekend long. Now with that being said, once quiet time hit, it was in fact, quiet. I get the feeling this park is mostly seasonal campers and those that are not seasonal are probably frequent campers. There didn't seem to be much communication as far as those of us that are new to this campground. For instance, activities. We happened to spot a small note on a cork board in the office about Bingo. Had we not stopped in for another reason, we would never have seen this. Maybe add an activity board around the restrooms? That way others can learn about the activities if they have no reason to go to the camp store. Another example, there was a town parade for Memorial day. Maybe again, put something on the activities board about that? Not only to let families know there is a parade going by the campground but also to warn campers that if you need to get out, you will not be able to during certain times. I like that they are adding fun things to the park and oh, the water. Beautiful!! Believe it or not, it was unseasonably cold for the end of May. Too cold to get in the water, lol. We hauled our kayaks up here only to not be able to get in the water but that natural spring is what is going to bring us back. I gotta get in that water! Make sure to stop in the camp store about ask about the "treasures" buried underwater. Fascinating. The park was clean; the staff seamed nice. I started out this review with a 3 star but as I got to this point in my writing, I talked myself in to another star. But really, communication for activities is a big deal when camping- consider fixing that. We will 100% be back- just to kayak in the water is reason enough.

    Natural Springs Resort was a little slice of heaven for us. Our two bedroom cabin with a full bath…read moreand kitchen was perfect for our family. The private patio with a grill and fire pit had a view of the water. It was also impeccably clean. Being able to rent a golf cart made traveling around the resort with two kids a breeze. From the beach to the multiple playgrounds, we were able to get anywhere we needed. There are so many amenities as well. The spring fed lake is gorgeous. There is a kids swimming area and a deeper adult swimming area with a swimming mat and a floating dock. If lake swimming isn't for you, there is also a heated pool. We also used the Wibit (floating obstacle course), kayaks, and paddle boats. All the rentals were reasonably priced and were great additions to our stay. The camp store and cafe are great as well. We were able to grab pizza and ice cream during our stay. We will definitely be back.

The lake itself is a little more than 5,000 Acres which is then surrounded by about 11,000 Acres of woods and picnic areas. Our main focus is fishing it is what we love to do. We were able to get out fishing about a week ago as the weather had turned nice. In the summer months the lake does get pretty busy with boaters and skiers. The first time this year we got out and caught 19 crappie and one catfish. That lake is full of catfish. We catch enough fish in the lake over the course of the fishing season to feed our family and extended family for the year. You can also find campgrounds here and you can reserve them through the Indiana DNR website. There are also hiking trails through the woods. Plenty to do if you want to get away for a week or a weekend.
