Breathtaking Trails
Turkey Run State Park - Trail 6
Around the Turkey Run State Park Inn

This was the first trail we hiked and it is breathtaking! Much cooler down in the gully, crevice or whatever it's called. If you ever get the opportunity I highly suggest visiting Turkey Run for a few days - even if it is sweltering hot like during our visit. Make sure you're in shape and ready to hike. I need to continue working out so I can better enjoy the trails next time we visit.

But they said, We will not walk therein."<br /> <br /> We took the "old paths" and were able to attend a wonderful volunteer lead church service in the Old Log Church on Sunday.<br /> <br /> Park Trails Map: <a href="http://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/files/turkey_run_trail.pdf">http://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/files/turkey_run_trail.pdf</a><br /> Official Park Site: <a href="http://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/2964.htm">http://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/2964.htm</a><br /> Google Map: <a href="http://goo.gl/maps/HAUB">http://goo.gl/maps/HAUB</a>
