RV rental Versailles State Park, IN: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

RV camping at state parks makes exploring the countryside easy and enjoyable, particularly when there are well-marked hiking routes to use.Hiking is a popular pastime in the park, and there are four trails to choose from covering around eight miles in total. The easy 2.75-mile figure of eight loop called Orchard that passes through woods and follows parts of the Fallen Timber Creek. The more difficult Old Forest Trail is a 2.25-mile loop through uplands woods and around ravines and limestone sinkholes. It is classed as difficult by the park and does cross many roads at some points, so caution is advised. Two more easy hikes are the Fallen Timber Creek Trail and the Otter Trail. Both routes are 1.5 miles long and classed as easy, but don’t loop back to their starting point. For mountain bikers, there are six marked trails, covering some 16-miles, ranging from easy to more difficult. They are all located in the northern area of the park with the easy one-mile Turtle Loop to the six-mile and more difficult Grandview Loop. Hikers are allowed to use the mountain bike trails, but it is advisable to keep a good lookout, as sometimes the bikes may be travelling quite fast. Fishing and boating are available on the 230-acre Versailles Lake. There is a boat ramp for private boats, but only low-powered electric engine boats are allowed. You can hire boats by the hour or day from the park office. Fishing requires a license for the lake but you can expect to catch bass, bluegill and catfish, and possibly smaller game fish as well. The park office can sell you a state fishing licence. Swimming is prohibited in Versailles Lake, but you will find an 82- foot swimming pool, including a 100-foot waterslide, play area and paddling pool that should make up for it!
