lincoln state park印象

This park is really close to my home, and like most places close you don't appreciate as one should. It's a really nice park that has a big lake, lots of trails, and nice camping. We look forward to visiting the nature center and walking to the fire tower. There are nice places to picnic and playgrounds for the kids to play!

I have enjoyed going to this park even when I was a youg child. The park has camping, fishing, hiking, bicycling, swimming beach, and yes, Abe Lincoln used to live there too. I know I did not have a big RV (just a pop-up), but it was always fun during the month of October. I stayed in one of the family cabins and enjoyed the rustic life.

We came for the annual geocaching with Abe geocaching event. This was the first time we have been to the park and we were very impressed. This is a large, clean well groomed park with plenty of trails a pretty like history and Geocaching. We stayed in one of the Family cabins with 6 adults. It was a bit snug but accommodated us for cheaper than a motel and warmer than a tent. The cabin has a kitchen but you have to bring any and everything you may want or need (towels, washrags, soap, plates, cooking & eating utensils, sheets etc. it is like a really nice camping cabin with heat and ac), we knew about the sheets and towels but were a bit unprepared but we made due. I was not aware of the Group Camping Cabins until after we were there but they are cheaper but do not have heat and AC - I will have to look into those for future trips. This was the cleanest park I have seen. As part of the geocaching events we attended we went to pick up trash and I didn't find enough trash to dirty a trash bag - it was amazing to walk over 2 miles around the beach, the parking lots, picnic area and along roads and to not see trash- the park staff and park visitors are amazing. We checked out the campgrounds while there and sites are a bit close for our liking but the shower houses are nice. We loved the Lincoln History and the CCC history in the park. Cons: there seems to be a fee for everything in the park. It is the first park I have been to that required an entrance/gate fee ($7 for out of state) when we were renting a cabin. It was just a one time fee for the time we were staying but they do charge a daily entrance fee for visiting - I guess that is how they fund the clean up crews : ) We were also going to bring our kayaks topaddlee the lake but again there is a $5 fee per boat to put our boats in the water so we skipped that - if we were staying longer it would have been nice but to just get out there about an hour it didn't seem worth the price.

We stopped in here and were pleasantly surprised. The guides were helpful and knowledgeable. We paid $5 for the whole family to go into the Lincoln museum and for a parking pass. We watched a 15 minute movie narrated by Leonard Nemoy about Lincoln. Everyone learned something new. We strolled through the small exhibit and then went to the farm homestead. You can walk the trail or drive. They have people there showing how they lived at the time of Lincoln. I thought it was very well put together. You could spend as little as an hour or as much as the entire day here. On the other side of the park they offer camping, picnic areas and hiking. We were all glad we made the stop here.

This is the second year I attended this camp ground with our church. We rent the group cabins. The park is huge and the employees are nice. There's a beach with a volleyball net. They also have a nature center and little shop. If you have the time visit the visitor center and Abe's cabin as a young boy across the street. Oh and an amphitheater. I haven't been but once they came to our camp dressed in costumes. It was cool! They have many events going on the middle of June throughout the summer. Holiday world is about 10 minutes away!The first time I didn't have any issues. This year I was assigned to a different cabin. I walked around the bed and saw a black snake going through a crack in my room! As calm as I could I called for my husband because I didn't want to panic the others. They couldn't catch him. I refused to stay so we rented a room at a hotel near the highway. I was told the snake did return. That time they called up front and I guess they sealed the crack. If we return to this location next year I won't be staying in the cabins. My skin still crawl when I think about it.

This was very interesting since I enjoy history and it had a really nice little trail that we enjoyed walking with the dog.

This is a great place for camping with a family or friends. It has lots of private camping areas inside the park. Good fishing as well. (need permit for fishing) There is a nice beach area for swimming and snack/picnic areas.

We have visited and stayed at Lincoln State Park now 3 times. It is a beautiful Indiana State park steeped in rich history surrounding Abe Lincoln. We have camped in the electric campground and it is very well kept with mostly spacious campsites. A few campsite tips: Stay on the side of the campground closest to the lake. That puts you closer to the bathhouses and walking distance from the camp store. The outside loop closest to the lake is really the best. The sites farthest from the lake appear smaller. The DNR is very nice at this particular state park. The beach is kept up nicely and groomed daily by the DNR staff. There are no issues with raccoons either. Favorite campsites: 72, 73, 75, 49...there are several others.

the place has gone down some, But as I find with most places like this the volunteers who do the demonstrations are the key to making or braking a place like this, I have to give them credit they do a heck of a job sometimes using there own money when times get tuff.The park is kind of a prelude to going to the lake.The cabin have a few demonstrators inside and out. Inside they maybe making soup in the big kettle in the fireplace and dyeing tow , outside they might be splitting rails that they will put you to work doing, or you might go out to the field and help pull tobacco worms off the tobacco plants, then take a walk in the woods,and visit Lincoln mother's grave then check out Lincoln museum. It's a nice quiet place to get away and see some history. then head over to the lake for swimming and barbecuing it makes for a good day

One of our favorite camping destinations. There are so many activities and everyone of them is spectacular! The facilities are all clean and the grounds are well kept. My kids love coming here!
