On March 31st 2023, McCormick`s Creek State Park was hit by EF3 tornado destorying the park's campground, damaged cabins, comfort stations, and blocked many park trails. Today, we are studying the session growth of this 400 yard wide tornado path.
Explore the spectacular limestone canyon, flowing creek, and scenic waterfalls that highlight Indiana’s first state park. Hike trails featuring diverse forest trees, spicebush, and native wildflowers on an accessible trail at the nature center. Experience history as you climb the fire tower, use shelter houses or cross the stone arch bridge created by the Civilian Conservation Corps, or examine the historic Statehouse Quarry, which furnished limestone used for the Indianapolis Statehouse. Relax in the lobby of Canyon Inn, open to all park visitors, or watch birds from the dining room porch as you enjoy a meal. Catch cultural events such as concerts in the park amphitheater or attend the several special events hosted annually at the park. McCormick’s Creek State Park offers active enjoyment through all seasons of the year. The park, nature center, Canyon Inn, cabins, most shelters, and some trails for hiking are open and operating. The campground and some park trails remain closed due to the March 31, 2023 tornado damage.
