Elkhart County Parks

Four large county parks offer a variety of open-air and enclosed shelters, all conveniently located near recreational activities and scenic river views. Bonneyville Mill County Park spans 223 acres of gently rolling hills and open meadows along the Little Elkhart River, with the historic Bonneyville Mill—Indiana’s oldest operating grist mill—providing a picturesque backdrop for gatherings.

Ox Bow County Park features hundreds of recreational opportunities, nature trails, and shelters overlooking the river. The historic River Preserve County Park, once the site of early mill operations, offers outdoor facilities including two open-air picnic shelters. Cobus Creek County Park boasts a beautiful modern facility, a sensory garden, playground, walking trails, and a meandering trout stream, making it ideal for both relaxation and recreation.
