See what a historic canal town was like while camping by the rolling hills and lakes of Metamora.
Known as Indiana’s historic canal town, Metamora is full of well-preserved buildings and structures dating back to the 19th century for campers to discover. Head to the Duck Creek Aqueduct, the country’s only wooden aqueduct before more water-themed exploration in Mounds State Recreation Area (not to be confused with Mounds State Park near Anderson). on Take to the water of Brookville Lake on paddleboard rentals, or go walleye fishing and swimming from the beach. The campground here features full-hookup campsites, plus amenities like a children’s playground, a camp store, seasonal showers, modern restrooms, and a fish-cleaning station. Drive 30 minutes north to Whitewater Memorial State Park for miles of horseback riding trails, two boat launch ramps, and diverse hiking trails like the forested Memorial Loop and Cattail Alley Trail for spotting waterfowl. Find pet-friendly tent camping and RV sites with up to 30-amp electrical service, picnic tables, drinking water, and a volleyball court. Or, check out cabin rentals with central air-conditioning and comfortable bed linens.
