Mounds

One of my friends Kelly met me at the park since she grew up in the area and wanted to hike the park with me.  Great park! We got there around 8:30 and left around 11 and it was totally parked with cars overflowing but it was such a gorgeous day.

The park itself is very small but also a wonderful park for photography and just walking in the woods for many of us.

Mounds State Park, located off I-69 east of Anderson, features 10 unique earthworks built by prehistoric Indians known as the Adena-Hopewell people. The largest earthwork, the Great Mound, is believed to have been constructed around 160 B.C. Archaeological surveys indicate the mounds were used as gathering places for religious ceremonies, from where astronomical alignments could be viewed.
