Parks and Nature Reserves

If you’re looking for a beautiful backdrop for a hike or a place to fish and camp, the parks and nature reserves in southern Indiana have everything you need!

The historic Corydon area has a lot to offer, namely the Battle of Corydon Memorial Park, which memorializes the only battle of the Civil War fought on Indiana soil. Corydon is also home to the O’bannon Woods State Park, a 26,000 acre park that borders the Ohio River. We pride ourselves in southern Indiana on having one of the best experiences of the great outdoors!

The Hayswood Nature Reserve is another great place to relax and enjoy a family picnic under one of the covered picnic areas or do a little fishing from the pier. The cool breeze coming off the lake makes this area a fun and peaceful area to visit any time of year!

We are proud of our parks and nature reserves in southern Indiana and would love to share them with you!
