Salamonie River State Forest — Attraction in Wabash

We have been coming here for about 2 years now. Whether it's 10° out side or 100°. This place is so beautiful. Peaceful. Eagles as far as you can see. Hawks. Herrings. Cranes. Woodpeckers. Squirrels of every color. Frogs, turtles, deer, coyote, badgers, chipmunks, a whole trail of pine. Fishing, horseback riding, swimming, beaches, dam, boating, kayaks, etc. I believe even primative camping. We picnic here during hikes. There are 3 waterfalls all different sizes. A huge pond. Playgrounds. Fire places available in a shelter to use as well. Closes late 11pm. I find this place to be the main reason I stay living in Wabash. There is a huge rock called hanging rock. With the history posted at the bottom. Very cool find. Hilly roads great for...

I love this place. I visit 2 -3 times per week, no matter the season or weather. It is a really good hike. A little rugged in spots, but plenty of different trails to choose from. You can hike down to the Wabash River to fish. Hunting is allowed during Hunting season. If you don't want to hike the Forrest, the road is really hilly and wavy, lined with beautiful trees. Salamonie Dam is nearby as well, and some people go there to fish. There is only a primitive campground here, And at Hominy Ridge, there is a boat ramp for non motor boats. It isn't a very big lake, but big enough to relax. Salamonie Forrest also has a horse campground for people who want to take their horses...

I loved camping here. I went to the primitive campgrounds and camped with my 8 year old daughter. It is self registration where you fill out the info and put money in an envolope and drop it off in a drop box. It was 13 dollars a night. The 3 falls trail was right by and Harmony Lake was right by to fish as well as Kokiwanee Nature Perserve and the Salomonie River and Dam. It was a very beautiful park. There were restrooms right by our campsite with running water as well and also swings and a slide right by for my daughter to play on. They also have a campfire spot with a built in grill that is useful. And other campers next to us were very nice. Will definitely be back to this...
