Hiker at Chain O' Lakes State Park

Named the Best Attraction in Northeast Indiana by local readers, Chain O' Lakes State Park offers miles of trails traversing 2,718 acres of preserved land through which lakes formed when massive ice sheets advanced over and then melted some 16,000 years ago. The lakes in this chain are kettle lakes formed when the glaciers were still huge blocks of ice.
