As we were taking a drive through several counties in southern Indiana, we happened to stop at a small store along the way. As we were there we saw a sign directing us to Sycamore Springs Park. Upon inquiring of the locals about the park we were told that the park was a great place to visit so off we went.

We followed the signs winding our way through the countryside until we came to the park itself.
We discovered that this wonderful park was privately owned by The Clayton Robinson Family Foundation. It is also privately funded. The park is open to individuals and social, civic, and religious groups as well for "educational and recreational purposes".
The park runs about 250 acres on a farm just outside English Indiana.

The boundaries of Sycamore Springs Park are formed on three sides by The Little Blue River. The park has picnic tables, benches, camping areas (with electricity and running water), and 3 shelter houses (which can be reserved for groups).

The park is very well mowed and manicured with one of the picnic areas sitting amongst the over 13,000 white pines planted there. The several ponds on the land are fed by natural spring water.

The park is opened seasonally and has security gates with codes for overnight campers. For reservations and more information check out the website for Sycamore Springs Park

Here are some of the sites we saw while there:


We enjoyed our drive through the park. It was full of people having fun, nature living wild, and scenic vistas along the winding road throughout the site. A great place for a daytrip and picnic.
