A new boat ramp, a swimming pool and a horseman's campground are among new attractions to be introduced this summer at three state parks in southern Indiana.
The most long-awaited project is a five-lane boat ramp set to open June 26th at Charlestown State Park. The $2.8 million project is expected to double gate admissions in an area known for heavy recreational boat traffic.
O'Bannon Woods State Park has a new swimming pool that cost $3.4 million.
And Deam Lake State Recreation Area near Borden has a new 80-site horseman's campground that will open in phases.
Officials hope the amenities will attract more visitors to parks and counter the effects of higher prices for gasoline and admission to the parks.
