It is separate from (and about 79 miles northwest of) the similarly named Mounds State Recreation Area (near Brookville, Indiana). The park receives about 400,000 visitors annually. The park is 1 of 14 Indiana State Parks that were in the path of totality for the 2024 solar eclipse, with the park having 3 minutes and 45 seconds of totality.
