Simply put, I love state parks. I live in Indiana, so I love Indiana State Parks. Like, I love everything about them. I love driving through the gates. I love getting the map, even though I already have 10 of them. I love planning an adventure. I have 2 boys, 8 and 5. This is prime time, that I won't get back.
Over the last several years we have spent enormous amounts of time at Pokagon and Chain O Lakes. The boys aren't quite kayakers yet, so Pokagon becomes our default park. We are tent campers. Our favorite site is 240 and 244. These sites are on a cul-de-sac, so it's hours of scooter time for the boys. It's really just magical. If neither of those site are open we get site 230. Its on a small hill, private for a state park.
Chain O lakes sites 108 - 100 at the end of the cul-de-sac are awesome. Very little traffic.
I'm going to Shades State Park in October, never been. I can't wait. And for Halloween weekend we're going back to Chain O Lakes. I guess they have a Halloween themed weekend.
Anyway, tell me about your state park adventures. Favorite trails, favorite sites, favorite parks ... etc.
FY1: 7 weekends until November 1.
