McCormicks Creek offer many hiking opportunities, including the semi-rugged falls hike, and the relaxing Wolf Cave hike. A full service restaurant is on grounds as well as a small recreation center, nature center, and Olympic sized pool. Other diversions include horse trails, with horses for hire at the livery barn, and a hike to the firetower. The camp sites are mid-sized and the raccoons are plentiful here. Although this was Indiana's first State Park it has been well maintained and updated through the years. If you only do one hike, make it the Falls with it's picturesque overhangs and refreshing pool at the bottom.
McCormicks Creek State Park off Rt 46 near Spencer, Indiana is a very lush feeling natural area.
I especially enjoyed the trails which were varied and challenging. Part of the challenge being finding them at certain points along the way. Pay close attention to your map and direction of travel or you may add a few extra miles on to your hike.
The campground was well laid out with gravel pads and the primitive sites had plenty of room for tents as well as hammocks. Pit toilets, a dump station and plenty of signage to keep you on the right path made it a easily navigable area. There were several groups present when we visited and there is a seperated camp area for them.
I went with a big group of about 15 to camp at their grounds. While it rained all day the second day, we still had a blast. We went for a 2 hour hike in the rain to the cave and the waterfall. We loved that there was so much to do. At night we relaxed by the fire and some friends played music. It was a very enjoyable time for everyone.
