Shakamak State Park includes 1766 acres of the most natural, beautiful and scenic property that southwestern Indiana has to offer and that God took the time to smile down upon. Located approximately 25 miles southeast of Terre Haute Indiana on S.R.48 and 3 miles west of the community of Jasonville. You will find the people from the surrounding communities to be the most friendly individuals the midwest region. The original two lakes are Lake Shakamak, which was the first man-made lake in the State of Indiana and Lake Lenape which came along a few years later. The third lake, Lake Kickapoo construction was completed in 1969.
Boat ramps are available for the fishermen.
The history and background of this wonderful Park can be found in the Shakamak History section of our website. Our group, the Friends of Shakamak is fairly new organization that consist of over 400 very determined individuals from throughout the United States. These people include campers, residents and ex-residents to the area and park patrons whose lives are somewhat tied together within the bounds of Shakamak. In other words, our Shakamak Family. Although the F.O.S. has several projects planned, our first and foremost effort is the reconstruction of the historical Lake Shakamak Beach and massive 32' Diving Tower and to rededicate it back to the citizens of Indiana and the Park Patrons.
