So beautiful and peaceful - i only came here to go hiking and i'm glad i did. There were…read morebutterflies everywhere and very minimum mosquitos - the grass was recently cut a few days ago which made the trail viewable. I had to use the ALL TRAIL app because they did wave in and out a little but thing were you'll get lost - its more of just missing additional trail and not getting all your steps in. Last but not least - i'm unsure if you're suppose to pay; at least when i went that day it was FREE but they did have signs posted of a list of fees. Since it was already an holiday because they decided to have the weekend free entry just be aware there's a possibility they might ask for some money. Lol! Happy hiking!!!

We are a family of 4 couples, each couple stayed in a different cabin. We stayed in Towhee, Flicker…read moreboth pet friendly one bedroom units with fold out couches, and Snipe and Redwing, studio units with pullout couches. We also rented the linens and towels. No one complained. These cabins are immaculate, equipped with kitchens, kitchen gadgets, heat, and screened in porches. The beds were comfortable, the towels fluffy and clean and the sheets soft. The windows opened, the doors and drawers opened and shut, the equipment was clean and worked. We used the refrigerators, the freezers, the range, microwave, toaster and coffee makers. We were pleasantly surprised to find kitchen towels and a dishrag along with dish soap. We used the grill located just outside the unit. Upon arriving we were greeted by Ranger Mark who explained everything and helped us get our linens to the units. There are lovely moderately difficult and very easy trails and walkways. The Rolling Oaks Trail is about a 3 mile off-the-grid trail. It has hills, grassy trails, flower fields and lots of twists and turns in the shade and sunshine. There's also a multi-use blacktopped trail which could be manageable for bikes, wheelchairs, and baby strollers. The Trine Recreation Area is part of the Indiana State Recreation Areas and its smaller and more private than others we have visited. It's wonderful. There's the option of boating, hiking, biking and there's a children's playground. Just across the highway there is Pokagon State Recreation Area that is much larger with a more diverse trail system along with horseback riding and an Inn as well as cabins and camping. It also has a black topped bike trail. We tried the short hikes one day and the 8 mile Devils Challenge another day. Pokagon SRA was busy, everyone was respectful of social distancing when passing. The hours for check-in 4 pm and it is 4 pm! Checkout is 11 am and they request you cleanup your cabin and pack up the linens and towels (if rented). It's no big deal and as long as you're respectful of the property the cleanup should be easy. The cabins are 5 years old and in great shape. You can see they are well maintained. My suggestions to further improve the units: one more shelf in kitchen high up on the level of the cabinet above the refrigerator. I struggled to find places for non-refrigerated foods of the floor. A full length mirror for those of us who need to be sure we are ready for the public (perfect spot on short wall near the bed head to the right of the pocket door) and some clothing hooks in the bedroom. The dresser is great but without a closet coats, hats and clothes that are worn regularly need hanging. It looks like maybe a few people have tried hanging off the curtain rods? We highly recommend Trine State Recreation Area and it's lovely cabins.

He sells some good horses and some bad. He gets a lot of horses from Straw Town auction and other places. If he would have done me right and buy her back this post would not be here.

I survived Cancer but I could have been hurt badly by this horse if I did not have a quick response. A horse that will rear up and flip over can injure or worse kill someone.
