Jacksonport State Park

Steamboats made Jacksonport a thriving river port in the 1800s.

During the Civil War, the town was occuppied by both Confederate and Union forces because of its crucial locale. Jacksonport became county seat in 1854, and a stately, two-story brick courthouse was constructed in 1869. The town began to decline in the 1870s when bypassed by the new railroad. The county seat was moved in 1891 and the stores, wharves and saloons soon vanished.

The park offers 20 Class A campsites, a swimming beach on the White River, standard pavillion, picnic sites, playground and the Tunstall Riverwalk Trail.
