Tippecanoe River is a state park in Pulaski County, Indiana, USA. It is located 58 miles south-southwest of South Bend, Indiana. Noted for a grove of old-growth white pine trees, the park also preserves more than 2 miles (3 km) of undisturbed wetland shoreline on the Tippecanoe River. It was formed when in 1943 the National Park Service gave to Indiana's Department of Conservation land to form a state park, with other land along the river becoming the Winamac Fish and Wildlife Area.

Canoeing is very popular in the park, as the Tippecanoe River stretches seven miles along the park's borders. A canoe-exclusive campsite has ten sites. It is also a River Otter Release area. Bluegill and bass are commonly fished from the river. The river is too dangerous for swimming, so those camping in the park can go to the Bass Lake State Beach five miles away.
Enjoying the park
There are ten miles (16 km) of hiking trails and thirteen miles (20 km) of horseback trails. Bicycle rentals, cultural arts programs, and naturalists are also available. Most visitors drive to the park, although pilots can land at the nearby Arens Airport and have a courtesy car take them to the park.
