A Visit to Charlestown State Park

At 5100 acres, Charlestown State Park is the third largest state park in Indiana. Visitors will find over seventy-two different species of birds here, including Bald Eagles, Black Vultures and bluebirds. The rugged Fourteen Mile Creek Valley is one of the oldest un-glaciated areas in Indiana. The valley's rugged terrain provides unique perspective on the area's Devonian fossil outcrops and areas of Karst sinkhole topography. Fourteen Mile Creek flows through the midsection of the park. The creek's elevation is the same as the Ohio River, thus most of the time there is no discernable current. During periods when the Ohio River floods, the current in the creek appear to go in reverse as rising floodwaters back up into the Fourteen Mile Creek Valley. The Department of Natural Resources is continually developing this southeast Indiana gem.
