Introduction of Whitewater Memorial State Park

Whitewater Memorial State Park, part of the Brookville Lake-Whitewater Memorial State Park Complex, is a great family getaway with its 200-acre Whitewater Lake, access to Brookville Reservoir, and other recreational facilities. Around the man-made lake, there are numerous opportunities for shoreline hiking, flat-water boating, swimming, fishing, and camping. The proximity to Brookville Reservoir provides numerous opportunities to observe migrating flocks of birds.
