Fort Massac State Park is the first State Park in Illinois established in 1908. It was first a French Fort and the Chickasaw Indians burned it down. Later George Washington had a new one built. Lewis and Clark stopped by here and recruited two members of the Corps of Discovery on their way West. Arron Burr and General Wilkerson also met here. Andrew Jackson also came here. . The original fort is just a foundation with a replica fort of the one rebuilt next to it. It overlooks the mighty Ohio River. The Welcome center is fantastic with the largest Indian artifact collection in the state. The docent there is very helpful and knowledgeable. You can also view a nice informative video.

Nice piece of history that we didn't know about. A small but interesting museum. Lovely view along the river.

Very nice buildings of history and clean grounds to walk around. Open till 10pm and a few plaques to read about the history if you don't Google it.

Nice place to visit. Lots of history that we were not aware of. The rebuilt fort was very interesting. Smaller than we thought it would be for supporting so many soldiers.

We have camped at Ft Massac for years. This was the only time that the park has not been maintained. The state built a multi thousand shower house that is still not open after more than a year of working on it. The grass hasn’t been mowed in weeks in the campground attracting mosquitoes and ticks. In fact my husband got a tick we had to remove. The roads are full of potholes and dusty making clouds of dust when a vehicle goes by The camp host is very nice and friendly however. All in all the Site Superintendent needs to visit and see how bad it is. We will be back but it needs to improve.

Stopped by the park on our way back to Chicago. Came to Metropolis primarily to see Superman statue, but what a wonderful find the park was !!
Recreation of the fort and view was both interesting and beautiful. Surprised to read that this is the first state park established in Illinois. Also, do not miss cute little museum and impeccably CLEAN restrooms!!

This is a really nice park. There are plenty of places to park that offer great views of the Ohio River.

We stopped in here one afternoon while we spend a couple days in Metropolis. We had a nice little lunch-pinch there that day as the weather was warm. The park is much bigger than we realized and it was cool to drive over to see the Fort-Museum, the river and all. More in the visitors center than we realized. Very interesting and worth seeing.

Spent a night in the campground where the hosts were very helpful and friendly. Large level sights. No bath/shower house available but there is one under construction.
The fort and visitor center was most interesting. It’s an easy bike ride around the park with trails that go into the town of Metropolis too.

We stopped here for the night passing through from Branson Mo to Nashville Tn. $18 for an overnight stay, not used to that! The campgrounds were well kept, sites were HUGE!!! Electric only so be sure to fill up your fresh water holding tank in the RV. (we didn't know this but fortunately we had 1/2 tank of water) Very quiet so resting was easy. Only 5-8 minutes from HARRAH'S casino if you're so inclined to drop a couple hundred dollar donation there :)

Looking for a place to picnic on Father's Day would there be places nearby or on the park that are available and are you able to fish the river while picnicking?
