Harmonie State Park

The combination of small interesting town, beautiful scenery, a friendly atmosphere and exciting recreation areas make this an ideal place for a Sunday drive, weekend outing, or long vacation. With its outstanding facilities and varied topography, Harmonie State Park brings to mind the utopia sought by some of the area's early settlers. From the flat floodplains along the Wabash River to the rolling hills in the camping areas, this is a perfect place for outdoor activities. The state park is located approximately 25 miles northwest of Evansville, and 4 miles south of New Harmony, in Posey County. Eight picnic areas, some of which have shelter houses, playground equipment, and running water, are located in scenic areas throughout the park. The Wabash River picnic area offers views of the river at its finest. The facilities include 200-site family campground with electrical hookups and modern restrooms, as well as a youth-group area in a more primitive setting, while the nature enthusiasts enjoy the summer naturalist programs, hiking the trails or riding their bikes.
