About Charlestown State Park

5,100 acres along the Ohio River make up this park's land, ground that once belonged to the Indiana Army Ammunition Plant before being handed over to the state in separate parcels through the 1990s and again in 2004. That history of donated tracts helped build it into the third largest state park in Indiana. Nearly 200,000 people visit each year.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
