Indian Cave State Park is a public recreation and historic preservation area straddling the county line between Nemaha and Richardson counties on the Missouri River, 10 miles (16 km) south of Brownville and 8 miles (13 km) east of Shubert, Nebraska. The 3,052-acre (1,235 ha) state park preserves a cave with prehistoric petroglyphs and the partially reconstructed village of St. Deroin established in 1853 and part of the former Nemaha Half-Breed Reservation.

Some of the carvings within Indian Cave are believed to be several thousand years old, but their exact period and cultural affiliations are undetermined. The park offers horseback riding, hiking trails, camping and picnic facilities, fishing areas and winter skiing.
