Chain O Lakes State Park

About

Chain O'Lakes State Park sits in northeastern Indiana near Albion, where ancient glaciers carved out nine interconnected kettle lakes now connected by navigable channels. The park's 2,718 acres offer exceptional paddling opportunities with electric-motors-only lake policies keeping waters quiet and serene. Twenty-nine miles of forested trails wind through the property, ranging from easy lakeside strolls to more challenging woodland hikes. The campground provides 442 sites across several loops: 323 electric sites with 15/20/30/50-amp service, 49 non-electric sites, 33 primitive sites, plus canoe-in campsites, rally camping, and family cabins. Bath houses with flush restrooms and showers serve the campground, along with drinking water stations, a dump station, and a well-stocked camp store selling firewood, ice, bait, and supplies. Fire rings, grills, and picnic tables are provided at campsites. Beyond camping, visitors can swim at the beach, rent canoes, fish from shore or boat, explore the Nature Center, or visit the historic Stanley Schoolhouse. A campground host is on-site throughout the season.
