About this park

Fort Harrison State Park in Indianapolis covers about 1,700 acres on the site of the former Fort Benjamin Harrison. Wooded ravines, rolling terrain and the winding Fall Creek make it a green refuge on the city's northeast side. Trails wander through mature forest, and Fall Creek offers a place for quiet water access. An inn and a golf course add to the recreation options, and historic military buildings from the former fort remain part of the landscape. Entry is $7 per vehicle with Indiana plates and $15 for out-of-state vehicles, with camping rates varying by site. It is one of the best spots in Indianapolis for a real woodland outing without leaving the metro area.
