Located in the plains of Central Indiana, Turkey Run State Park is commonly boasted as the Midwest's best kept secret by outdoor enthusiasts. Its rugged hiking trails bisect stark gorges carved out by glacial meltwater in one of the few areas of the state to contain old growth stands of virgin forest. Nestled within the park is the 1,609 acres of Rocky Hollow-Falls Canyon Nature Preserve. It comes as a surprise to many that this little known parks trail system is regularly voted as having the Best Hiking Trails in the state year after year. Exploring the streams, waterfalls, and gulches of this scenic landscape is unlike any other experience within the Hoosier State.
There is no such thing as a bad or unexciting hiking trail in this state park, but if you were to ask visitors which trail they love most, it would be a combination of Trails 3, 5 & 9. As a matter of fact, this 5 mile “double figure- eight” loop through deeply cut ravines filled with waterfalls, boulder scrambles and ladder climbs is considered one of the most thrilling in the Midwest. Since all three of these trails loop right besides one another, its quite easy to transfer from one to the other at any given point. Containing some of the most scenic sights and adventure filled hiking in Turkey Run, I made it my mission to tackle these trails on my first ever visit to this beloved state park.
I could watch this all day. 😊
One of our favorite parks in Indiana.
We like Red River Gorge in Kentucky even better.
Thanks for showing this . I gotta plan a trip . Looks AWESOME
it is awesome!!
Excellent work!
Looks awesome! Cool place. Crow✌️
Part of trail #3 is closed at this time, but you can just loop around on other trails. LOVE #3!
Hopefully it's only temporary from all of the heavy rains. By far the best trail in the park!
If you don't take the latter's do you miss out on a lot? Or how does someone go about with their 70lb dog.. lol
@@jgarduno1543 most of the trails there are dangerous for a dog and the people around the dog unless the dog is super calm and very athletic and even then i wouldnt take my dog on half the trails at turkey run. what would you do if your dog breaks his leg an hours hike away from the parking lot or jumps on someone and knocks them off a ledge? that park is usually way too crowded
