Indian Cave State Park is a state park of Nebraska, USA, preserving a cave with prehistoric petroglyphs and the partially reconstructed village of St. Deroin established in 1853. The 3,052-acre (1,235 ha) park is along the Missouri River on the county line between Nemaha and Richardson counties.[3] It is 10 miles (16 km) south of Brownville, Nebraska.[4]
Some of the carvings within Indian Cave are believed to be several thousand years old, but their exact period and cultural affiliations are undetermined.[2] The park offers horseback riding, hiking trails, camping and picnic facilities, fishing areas and winter skiing.[3][4] The park contains part of the former Nemaha Half-Breed Reservation.
