Hickory Hills Park is located 13 miles south of Indianola on US Highway 69. The 160 acre park was acquired by the WCCB with Land and Water Conservation Fund (LAWCON or LWCF) in 1976.

The park features a primitive camping area, a small fishing pond, several trails and an old homestead site that includes the old storm cellar, house foundation, barn (with a concrete floor and electricity added for park user convenience) and a large shelter with a raised deck. The barn and shelter are very popular for family reunions, scout outings and weddings and can be reserved by calling the WCCB office. A series on Indian mounds can also be found in the park.
