About
Chain O' Lakes State Park's 18 cabins sit on a forested hillside near Albion, part of Indiana DNR's statewide Family Cabins program: each has bedrooms, a living area, a kitchen, and a modern bathroom. Sleeps 4 to 8 depending on the unit. During June, July, and August, cabins must be booked for a full one- or two-week stay; shorter stays are allowed the rest of the year. Smoking isn't permitted inside.
Indiana DNR's own Family Cabins program page says some of its cabins are open year-round and others are seasonal, without breaking that down by park - call ahead to confirm this cabin's season before planning a winter trip.
