If Fall Is Your Favorite Season, You’ll Want To Visit Brown County State Park In Indiana

Fall has officially made its way to Indiana, and for many of us, this is our most eagerly anticipated time of year. And while you'll find plenty of spots to take in all the beautiful fall foliage in Indy, you can never go wrong with paying a visit to our largest state park. Brown County definitely never disappoints this time of year.

Brown County State Park sits right in the center of Southern Indiana, where it encompasses 15,776 acres.

Not only is this the largest state park in Indy, it also happens to be one of the largest in the United States.

The park has been a beloved recreation spot since 1929, although the area's history goes back much further.

In 1932, it was as a memorial to Indiana humorist Frank McKinney "Kin" Hubbard. Abe Martin Lodge, which is located inside the park, is even named after Hubbard's fictional backwoodsmen character.

There are an abundance of activities available here, from hiking to fishing and even camping.

Of course, you may simply wish to drive around and enjoy all the changing leaves.

There's no doubt about it -- this place is a must-see for fall lovers.

It's one of the most popular places in the state to view fall colors, and for good reason.

With so many acres of rugged hills, ridges, and ravines, it's impossible to see all of this park in a day.

Of course, most people have no problem returning time and time again.

Every fall, thousands of people flock to Brown County State Park to check out the changing leaves.

And thanks to the park's massive size, social distancing will be a breeze this year.

If it's been awhile since you've been to Indiana's most massive state park, this is a beautiful time of year to go.

If fall isn't your favorite season when you arrive, it just might be by the time you leave.

Do you have a favorite spot in Indy to enjoy all the fall colors?
