Alton Community Park

Indiana, Crawford County, Alton

river mile 679

Access to river: yes. Tree cover: somewhat open. Impermeable surface: some. Landscape design strategy: organized. Information about the Ohio River: none.

Big cottonwood trees, warm summer breeze: bring your lawn chair and just sit here quietly watching the river. It’s all woods on the other side. The trees are doing their work. If you had your own riverfront home, you could launch a boat. It’s peaceful, but there are no amenities. If you wanted to camp, you’d have to do so on a manicured lawn.
