Native forest and large rock outcrops line the upper part of Big Raccoon Creek. Cecil M. Harden Lake resulted from the damming of the creek for flood control. Raccoon Lake Camping also provides recreation, wildlife management and economic benefits. A variety of fish, flora and fauna can be viewed at the property.
Nearby Historic Mansfield Roller Mill is a preserved, working example of industrialization in Indiana at the turn of the 20th century. This 1880s flour mill uses machinery from that time to show visitors how flour and cornmeal were processed from wheat and corn. It is an almost complete and unchanged example of flour mills from this time period.

Excellent state park. Bathrooms smelled like bleach upon arrival!
We loved the archery trail that they offer. The deer stand on the archery trail does need some repair on the top railings. Don’t lean on the rails.
My 1st lake since being out in Indiana. Nice that the friend that took me and my family had a boat. But we've been missing water since leaving Hawai'i. It was super fun. Can't wait to go back
Great Campground!! Went during the Covered Bridge Festival. Bathrooms are very clean. Great trails and a beautiful lake.
We love camping at raccoon lake. Both tent and rv sites are nice. They have pottable water and dump stations. Very clean bathrooms and showers.
