Charlestown State Park – "Cliffs, Caves, and Ohio River Vistas"

#holidayitinerary

Perched along the Ohio River in southern Indiana, Charlestown State Park offers dramatic terrain for the adventurous. Once a sprawling army depot, the area has been reclaimed by nature and now features hiking trails with cliffside views, sinkholes, and waterfalls. Trail 3 leads to the historic Rose Island ruins, a former 1920s amusement park now overtaken by forest. The combination of rugged beauty and historical intrigue makes this park a hidden gem. A thrilling entry on any Indiana #holidayitinerary.
