We took Mom to visit Harmonie State Park, on the banks of the Wabash River, on Friday, 20th September. Upon arriving at Indiana's furthest south-west state park, we went to a nice playground where the kiddos played and we had a picnic lunch.
We then drove to the campground entrance from where we walked to the lovely little Nature Centre. Here we enjoyed seeing the various displays, and we then took a relatively brief walk through the forest. We went to the Wabash River and looked across the river into Illinois, before driving home via Evansville. It was a great way to spend Mom's final Friday in Indiana for this trip!
