Camping, fishing, hiking? All this and more! Located 4 miles west of Logansport on US 24 (see map below), Indiana residents have come to know and love the outdoor recreational facility, France Park, for its scenic trails, waterfall, clear swimming lake, quiet fishing areas, and spacious camping facilities. The 7-10 miles of trails are active all year long with hiking, mountain biking, and winter-time cross-country skiing. The swimming lake is an abandoned spring-fed quarry that attracts SCUBA divers from far away. France Park offers the camping enthusiast both primitive and modern camping with bathrooms, showers, water and electrical hook-ups.
Due to a lack of tax appropriations, France Park is fighting for its very survival. Because of this the gate fee is now $2.00 per person. Other rates have also changed. Please go to Rates and Rules page to see these additional changes. Please note that season passes are very reasonable: $60/family, $30/individual, and $15/senior citizens.
