Visit Turkey Run State Park
Rating: 9.1/10

Turkey Run State Park

Turkey Run State Park, in our opinion, is the best or second-best place in Indiana. It is a park with a large number of trails and attractions to explore. To cover all of its trails, you will need a lot of energy, water, and time. It is the ideal place to spend the weekend! Its main attractions are its natural canyons, suspension bridge, covered bridge, and magnificent views. It has a hotel and restaurant where you can stay, and even a swimming pool that opens during the summer. If you manage to explore all of its trails and still have energy left, we recommend visiting Shades State Park, just a few minutes away.

Our Trip Turkey Run State Park

This is our recommended parking spot. There are many other options, but this is the best spot to explore the top hiking trails.

Parking

We recommend using restrooms before starting activities, specially if you have kids.

Restrooms

The Rocky Hollow Suspension Bridge is something spectacular, and it is one of the park’s main attractions. You can go down to the river and enjoy the refreshing water. I recommend visiting during the rainy season.

To Suspension Bridge

Trail #3 is the best of all the trails in the park, and it will take you through canyons, cliffs, green areas, and many other surprising places.

To Trail #3

To reach Trail #7, it is necessary to walk through Trail #6. This trail will take you through beautiful views and unique areas near the river.

To Trail #7

The Cox Ford Covered Bridge is an interesting point in the park, and you can drive directly to it.
