Wabash Valley state park awarded best hike in the midwest

  • 0

PARKE COUNTY, Ind. (WTHI) - As warmer weather and blooming blossoms are on the horizon, some of you may be eager to get out soon.

If you're ready for a hike in green nature - Turkey Run State Park may be the spot.

That's because Turkey Run's Trail 3 was named the midwest's best hike in Midwest Living's annual best of the midwest list.

The trail features sandstone cliffs and beautiful hemlock groves.

It's a 1.7-mile-long walk around a river. Remember that this trail is a little rugged and may involve climbing ladders and getting your shoes wet.
