If there’s anything we absolutely can’t get over about living in Indiana, it’s the fact that we get to enjoy all four seasons here. Our springs are brilliant and vibrant, our summers are hot and lush, and our autumns… man. Our. Autumns. Fall in Indiana is an incredible time, and it’s true that no matter where you turn you’re sure to see the entire world ablaze in color. Why not visit the first-ever state park in Indiana – McCormick’s Creek State Park – and fully immerse yourself in the wonder of the season? We think yes.
