RV Rental Mounds State Park, IN

First-timers should definitely check out the pre-historic mounds and learn how the Adena tribes used them. It's believed that mounds were used to view solar and astronomical events that were used for ceremonies and rituals along with other tribal customs. You can learn a lot more if you visit the nature center, where you also get to view wildlife, check out interactive games, and sign up for interpretive programs.

Mounds State Park also boasts multiple hiking trails, which is a great way to explore the area on foot and enjoy the scenic and historic sights. Exploration can be more engaging if you sign up for one of the park’s programs, like the GPS history adventure, where you'll need to locate all the important historic sites in the park. If history isn't your cup of tea, you can make the hikes more interesting by birdwatching and trying to identify as many different bird species as possible. While trekking the park’s trails, you can spot eastern wood-pewees, warblers, and even bald eagles.
