About
Mounds State Park sits along the White River east of Anderson and features one of Indiana's most significant archaeological sites with 10 earthworks built by the Adena-Hopewell people around 160 B.C. The family campground offers 71 electric campsites with driveway lengths ranging from 40 to 66 feet, plus 4 youth tent areas, 3 shelters, and a recreation building. Modern facilities include a bathhouse with showers, comfort stations, dump station, and a camp store selling firewood, ice, and supplies. The park provides excellent hiking opportunities with six trails totaling over 5 miles, ranging from easy wheelchair-accessible paths around the mounds to rugged terrain through ravines and along limestone bluffs overlooking the White River. The Nature Center offers wildlife viewing, interactive exhibits, and naturalist-led programs every weekend. Fishing is available in the White River, and the park features picnic areas, shelters, and a seasonal pool. The property is also a stop on the Indiana Birding Trail.
