A part of the Brookville Lake-Whitewater Memorial State Park Complex, Whitewater Memorial State Park is a great family getaway because of its 200-acre Whitewater Lake, access to Brookville Reservoir, and other recreational facilities.
Shoreline hiking, flat-water boating, swimming, fishing and camping opportunities are abundant around the man-made lake. The access to Brookville Reservoir provides many opportunities for seeing migrating flocks of birds.
Whitewater Memorial State Park boasts 9 miles of horseback riding trails with access both for day users and from the horsemen’s campground. The saddle barn concessionaire offers hayrides, guided trail rides, and sleigh rides, weather permitting.
The land for the park was originally purchased by the surrounding counties of Union, Fayette, Franklin and Wayne as a memorial to the men and women who served in World War II. It became the 16th park in the Indiana State Park system in 1949.

Nice park for any out of towner like myself. Or even for locals that have not been. Enjoyed the trails. Dog friendly! Nice picnic areas and beach. As well as swimming. Nice family cabins if wanting to stay as well as camp sites both electric and tent. Very nice park. Definitely recommend!
I love this park. Hiking, fishing, camping, you can do a little of everything. I really like walking my dog on the trails. I would recommend.
Great campground nice friendly family atmosphere. Clean and well kept. Separate shower houses that lock which i prefer, hot water low pressure but hot. We took a guided nature hike looking for mushrooms that was exceptionally good. Great guide we literally found hundreds of mushrooms and fungus of various species that adults and teens enjoyed.
