I love this State Park pool. It is worth buying a STATE PARK PASS if your going to visit STATE Parks. 50 dollars for the year. This pool has a slide lots of hiking paths.

Love the huge sites at Shakamak! I am used to parks with barely room to open awning or slide out on camper. At Shakamak, there was plenty of room!

Those of us closer to Indy don’t hear about Shakamak as much since it’s farther away but we’re missing out. It looks like a great place to take a family. They have cabins and a large pool area. I came here for a hike. Trail 1 is great. Great Lake views and some of the best aquatic plant life I’ve seen in Indiana. They keep the trail in great shape although there are a few areas that need maintenance. I saw many people fishing as well.

If you like fishing, moderate to easy hiking trails. This place is awesome. Camp sites are large gravel pads on most. Installing new modem pit toilets in the remote areas. They also had share a book boxes around the campground, grandson loved that.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Can I take my small dog on a kayak with me.

Sue Decker | Jan 28, 2020
Holly Faust | Jan 29, 2020

As long as the dog is not tetatorial, quiet ( not barking the entire time), and on a six foot leash. You need to clean up after your dog and do not let it chase the inhabitants of the area. Personally, I don't recommend it. It sounds like an accident waiting to happen.
