| State Park Overview: |
 | Mounds State Park, located off I-69 east of Anderson, features 10 unique "earthworks" built by a group of prehistoric Indians known as the Adena-Hopewell people. The largest earthwork, the "Great Mound", is believed to have been constructed around 160 B.C. Archaeological surveys seem to indicate it was used as a gathering place for religious ceremonies. |

Wonderful place
I have gone to Mounds State Park nearly all of my life. My father took us as kids and now I am taking my kids. The parks offers wonderful learning experiences! The new addition to the pool is terrific! Our kids love the time we spend here!
