TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE MINIMUM REQUIRED STAY: When booking a stay that includes Sunday night, April 7, 2024, you will also be required to include Monday night, April 8, 2024 in your stay. This requirement is primarily due to the volume of visitors expected for the Eclipse viewing and the amount of traffic expected during this time, plus the conflict of check in/out time occurring in the middle of the Eclipse itself on Monday afternoon. Thank you for understanding.
BLUE-GREEN ALGAE:: Found in lakes year-round. Don't drink the water. Shower after you swim.More information.

Description
Includes the Raccoon State Recreation Area and Historic Mansfield Roller Mill.
Native forest and large rock outcrops line the upper part of Big Raccoon Creek. Cecil M. Harden Lake resulted from the damming of the creek for flood control. The lake also provides recreation, wildlife management and economic benefits. A variety of fish, flora and fauna can be viewed at the property.
Nearby Historic Mansfield Roller Mill is a preserved, working example of industrialization in Indiana at the turn of the 20th century. This 1880s flour mill uses machinery from that time to show visitors how flour and cornmeal were processed from wheat and corn. It is an almost complete and unchanged example of flour mills from this time period.
