Ouabache State Park

We like going here with our family. Usually it's nice and quiet. They have nice walking trails and picnic areas. There's also a swimming area and you can fish. Lots of things to do as a family or with friends.

Went for a day in April for the eclipse. Such great staff! It's a wonderful park with plenty of space and trails. It was still spring so the trails still had standing water and mud as expected, so bring proper footwear. Has a beach front and seasonal boat rental. Fishing is allowed but only two keepers. Rock path around most of the lake. Has a bison enclosure you can walk around the outside. A few different playgrounds and bathroom areas. We plan on going back in the summer.

For such a small state park, there's quite a lot you can do. If you like to go fishing, you can do that. If you like visiting a beach, you can do that. If you want to go for a hike in the woods, you can do that. If you want to see some bison chilling, you can do that.

So if you like doing those things, give this park a try.

My friends camp here. The campground is all electric.The campground building restrooms are very clean. The viewing bison feeding is a must. Beautiful animals . Beautiful lake. Several trails with trees marked telling what they are. We did all the trails. It was a total of 13 miles.

Very nice park. The bison are beautiful animals, thank you guys for having them out there and taking care of them. Nice place for family to visit

Beautiful camping park. Very clean. Love the tower you can climb and the Bison. The beach looks nice, however it is still closed due to its before memorial day so I am unsure of how the swimming actually is. Brand new shower and bathrooms at the camping sites. Camp sites all paved for campers. Deer, coons, lots of woodpeckers. Great fishing. $30. A night for elect hook up site.

What an amazing place! Though, to be honest, I haven’t been to a Indiana State Park that wasn’t amazing! The paved bike path was phenomenal. The Bison exhibit was fun, the dogs didn’t know what to think. There is a Tree Hike (trail 3) that has signs posted by trees with QR codes to scan so you can learn more about the trees (I loved this). A lot of pretty easy trails, great campground and absolutely wonderful employees that were g]helpful, friendly and offered great suggestions. Many interpretive programs to learn about the park. We will definitely be back!

We've been coming here for years. There are lots of hiking trails, a campground, a swimming area, paddle boats, picnic areas, and a playground. The restrooms were clean and I love watching the Bison. Some of the trails are really beautiful. Definitely a nice state park to visit ❤

Nice park. Trails were VERY muddy though.

What a great park! Had our first visit today and were really impressed! See the bison, take a nature hike around the lake, eat picnic! The facilities that were open were very clean and well stocked. Will definitely visit again!

Update - September 2022, the baby bison is adorable. The bison feeding program is fantastic, so informative.

This is a great park for a day or a week. Tons of things to do. They have around 10 miles of easy to moderate hiking trails, a fishing lake, swimming beach, campground, small herd of bison, and tons of other things to do. A short distance outside the main entrance is White Bridge picnic area and public access.

Prior to visiting I had never heard of this park and I only lived 30 minutes away from it. It is a beautiful location with nice hiking trails and scenery. Being able to see the bison up close was pretty cool too :) **definitely wasn’t a fan of the restrooms. They were similar to outhouses, but large toilets above a big hole in the ground and definitely could use cleaning.

It's a good state park to go around walking. It has some nice trails. At the time of going though, some trails were flooded so it was a bit wet going through them but it was still good overall.

Had a great time. Wish the bison weren't napping but that's alright. Still a beautiful park and the tower is super cool!

I love this little park. Great hiking, nice small lake for swimming, fishing and non-moterized boats. Very nice shelters.

The campground was well maintained and the sites my group had were paved, level, and easy to park. There were several playgrounds for kids. The park has 10 or so bison in a 20 acre enclosure... that was very cool! The park has a fire tower which was closed for cleaning. There is a pond/lake with a walking trail around it. There is a paved bike trail trail through the park, from the campground and goes all the way into town.

The only negative - the weekend we camped was following a heavy rain, so the whole park was muddy and wet with several areas of mud/standing water on the trails.

This is one of the smaller state parks but I really liked the camping and the size of the camp sites. The bison exhibit was interesting. The park also has a nice paved bicycle trail.

Very well kept state park. There are several Bison to see. Fire tower to climb and enjoy the 360 degree view. Nice beach area. Friendly staff

Such a wonderful place to camp. Our cat particularly loved exploring the nearby woods. Lots of locals come by for lunch or just to look out over the river. Very relaxing space. We will definitely be back.

The park was great.
People were great there.I thanked them for working with us at the park would definitely come back and stay
