About Limberlost County Park

 

Limberlost County Park is located in LaGrange County, Indiana, encompassing over 400 acres of hardwood forests, wetlands, and open meadows. The terrain is characterized by gentle rolling hills and several small lakes that provide ideal habitats for diverse wildlife including deer, wild turkeys, and various waterfowl species. The park’s name is inspired by the Limberlost Swamp, historically a dense wetland area that once covered the region. Today, the park serves as a conservation and recreation area, preserving natural habitats while offering visitors a range of outdoor activities. Hiking and mountain biking trails wind through mature oak, maple, and beech forests, while picnic shelters and playgrounds make it a popular destination for families. Fishing is a favorite pastime at Limberlost’s lakes, which are stocked with bass and sunfish. Bird watchers often spot a variety of songbirds and water birds throughout the seasons. The park’s natural beauty combined with well-maintained amenities attracts visitors seeking quiet escapes, nature photography opportunities, and seasonal events such as fall foliage walks. Limberlost County Park is managed by the LaGrange County Park & Recreation Department, ensuring the area remains accessible and environmentally protected for future generations.
