About this campground
Established in 1932 as a memorial to Nancy Hanks, Abraham Lincoln's mother, this 1,747-acre park preserves the landscape where young Lincoln spent his formative years from ages 7 to 21. The park's recreational facilities were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression and include the beautiful Lake Lincoln, historic shelters, and an extensive trail system. Visitors can explore 10 miles of hiking trails that follow the paths Lincoln once walked, including routes to the James Gentry home where Lincoln worked as a young man and the Little Pigeon Creek Baptist Church where his sister Sarah is buried.
