I've been here so many times so I can't believe I have neglected to review it. We have done many day trips for hiking and picnics, and also some camping trips. October is the best time to camp or hike here, the leaves are beautiful and the trails are mostly dry. There are easy trails, moderate trails, and rugged trails. The suspension bridge is fun to cross, although there are 70 steps to climb, and they are fairly steep. It would be nice if a ramp was added for those who can't do steps. Park maps are provided when you enter the park, and most of the trails are fairly well marked. There is one trail that is marked but does not appear on the map, trail 12. Admission fee is only $7 per vehicle. read more

Turkey Run State Park - My pup on the suspension bridge - Parks Near Me - Marshall, Indiana

It's no real secret that I tend to be a little harsh in my reviews when accessibility is an issue, however, nature is nature and I've never thought it made sense to be completely harsh because the natural world isn't as accessible as I'd like. So yeah, while Turkey Run is one of Indiana's prize state works it's also one of the least accessible ones. Established in 1916, Turkey Run is consistently named Indiana's favorite state park. It gets over 1 million visitors annually and it's Inn is known for being booked up to a year in advance. The Inn has 61 rooms ranging in price from $115-180, though if you use Booking.com you can often get more affordable rates. There are also 23 rental cabins (around $155 a night) and 213 campsites. Turkey Run is a gem for hikers, though it's worth noting that an awful lot of the hiking is not wheelchair friendly. Turkey Run has over 14 miles of hiking trails (11 trails, only one described as "easy"), picnic areas, a swimming pool, a nature center that I truly love, several historic sites (including some that have been made accessible, fishing, a sand volleyball court, tennis courts, a basketball court, canoeing/kayaking, and quite a few special events. For most of the sports fields, you have to bring your own equipment. There's an amazing suspension bridge. Again, not accessible as you have to do about 70 steps to get to it. For those who can, getting to it offers the Rocky Hollow-Falls Canyon Nature Preserve. I actually did do this bridge when I was younger, though as an older wheelchair user now I wouldn't even think about it. The bridge is over Sugar Creek, though there's no swimming in the creek. Turkey Run is spread out over 2,382 acres. It was Indiana's second state park. As a slightly morbid fun fact, Col. Richard Lieber has a memorial right around the end of Trail 11. Lieber is considered the father of Indiana's state parks and was instrumental in getting Indiana to become one of the first states with a significant park system. While I can't say that Turkey Run is truly my favorite park, it's one I visit from time to time partly because it's beautiful and partly because of nostalgia as it's a place my father loved to visit. He was born in deep, rural Kentucky and I think this park kind of reminded him of home. For those who love hiking, this is a must visit park. For those who appreciate a tapestry of history, that's also a reason to visit here. While wheelchair users and/or anyone with mobility concerns will struggle here, there's still enough to make this worth a day trip and/or a visit to the Turkey Run Inn for a weekend getaway. read more

A popular and well-loved park for a reason! It's a little over an hour's drive from Central Indy, but totally worth it. The park was somewhat busy from the parking lot to crossing the bridge, but once we got onto the trails it didn't feel crowded at all. I really appreciated having different trail distance options, especially for my two senior dogs. We got in just the right amount of walking and exploring. Since I had them with me, I couldn't take the ladder trails this time, but that's definitely on my list for when I come back in the spring! read more

This is my favorite park to visit when in Indiana. It has a vast amount of activities but I go for the hiking. They have over 10 trails to hike from easy to very rugged but no matter the level,they all end up in a beautiful river where you can freshen up with a swim or just lay back and enjoy the scenery. It also includes a great amount of space for setting up a picnic and or bar b q and even on busy days, it does not feel full. There is a community pool and even a small amphitheater where we enjoyed a little country music. read more

This place is so peaceful and beautiful! Although we were not quite prepared for our trail loop of 3, 5, 9, 10 and 1... when they are described as "rugged" within the park map, it's pretty spot on, as I was trying not to slip, fall, and injure myself during several portions (especially trail 9... the devil's trail lol). Make sure you pack water & snacks, as there isn't anywhere to fuel up once you begin your journey. We came on a (blazing hot) Sunday afternoon and while there were plenty of people, it never felt crowded and everyone was very respectful on the trails and ensured one another's safety. I would love to see how beautiful this park looks during the fall and winter seasons read more

This is a beautiful area! The natural features are stunning and there are a lot of nice amenities, including an inn, cabins, campsites, shelters, sports fields, and playgrounds. The gorge is fun to explore and has a great view at Sunset Point. Rocky Hollow Nature Preserve is located inside the park and is accessible via a neat suspension bridge across Sugar Creek. It has a lot of amazing sandstone formations - canyons, caves, slump blocks, and more. Some of the trails themselves wind in and out of the actual streambed. There is also a nature center available at the park. Great place to visit! read more

We visited Turkey Run right after winter today and it was still as beautiful without the leaves and greenery. Granted there soil was mushy but we had a great time hiking loop 6 and 7. There are about 6-7 trails and some of them are far more rugged and require climbing a lot of steps. For seasoned hikers, it's fun and definitely worth your time. The camps and inn are busy and overflowing in summer but today it was a good, quiet day with a couple hikers here and there. Definitely recommend and turkey run doesn't grow old! read more

Wow. An absolutely beautiful State Park. Our family of five visited in April and had the best day. I definitely recommend looking at the trails before and deciding what works best for your group. Since we had a 7 year old we decided to do portions of 3 of the trails. Don't get me wrong, these trails, 3, 5, 9, (where they intersect) still are a lot. You will be tired. But take your time. Bring plenty of water and a small snack. Please wear comfortable shoes with grip and dress in layers. It was cool when we arrived in the early afternoon but we soon got warm by 1 or 2pm with all the walking (and stairs read more

First, I will say that this is a beautiful park. I absolutely recommend it. I think it's 100% worth the trip. It's beautiful year round! Lovely trails and beautiful landscape to see. That being said... this trip was soured by a massive breakdown in communication to patrons. My family drove from Bloomington IL to visit. We made reservations by phone for the lodge. We were not told the park was closed. When we arrived a very speed woman at the park entrance told us the news. We told her that we were staying here and had come from Bloomington il, and we were told we could only go corticosteroids to the lodge and can not go anywhere else in the park. When we went to the lodge to cancel our reservation... we saw there is not even anywhere to eat because the lodge restaurant is closed also. No one told us when making reservations, it's not on the park website, there was claim that it was on the Facebook page. We never saw it. We looked. I feel that there should be something more done for these situations. If we had been told when making reservations... we could have saved a lot more time, gas, and money. read more

Turkey Run State Park - Park closed sign - Parks Near Me - Marshall, Indiana

There is something for everyone at Turkey Run State Park. For outdoorsy people, you can kayak, canoe, hike, cross bridges, creek stomp and more. For less outdoorsy people, there's a playground and nature center. For everyone, there's a lot of beautiful Indiana nature to appreciate everywhere you look. We visited on Memorial Day weekend, which turned out to be a nice day, so the park was very crowded, as were the hiking trails. It was a constant stream of people to and from the trails and over the bridge. Obviously, if you want to visit when there are fewer people, visit on a day when not everyone has the day off and the weather isn't perfect. To get to the canyons, which are a main feature of this park, you need to walk over a huge wooden suspension bridge. I was a little hesitant to walk on it because it sits so high up, but it was very sturdy! Look on either side of the bridge as you pass and you'll see great views of Sugar Creek, which is the body of water that you're passing over, as well as the banks of land on either side. It really is breathtaking. Once you cross the bridge, you'll be treated to some of the most amazing rock structures, sandstone canyons and waterfalls. It's such a peaceful place, and it is surprisingly cool and shaded, so even though we were hiking on a hot day, the canyon was keeping us cool. Leashed dogs are permitted on the hike through turkey run. We brought our dog and saw lots of other well-behaved dogs and their owners. Be aware that there is a lot of climbing required on the trails at Turkey Run. None of the trails are very steep, but there are many stairs and places where you need to cross over creeks by stepping on wobbly stones. This is not a wheelchair- or stroller-friendly hike, at least not in the areas I was in. read more

If you enjoy hiking then you must visit this state park. I reckon it's the best one in Indiana! There are 11 different hikes you can do here even a couple loops, and most of them are actual hikes not strolls and require hiking boots or even water sandals and even poles. If you're ok getting your shoes soaked and muddy then no need to worry about which trail to take. It felt like I was transported out of the state and will definitely be back to check out other hikes here. It can get pretty crowded because of the beautiful views so be prepared to wait for ladders or suspension bridges. There are good picnic areas where you can grill before or after your hike. If you enjoy camping there are also camp grounds that are heavily used with bathroom/showers. read more

This is the park that made me fall in love with hiking. There's so much to see here and all within a relatively short distance, this really is the perfect park for a day of hiking.

What can I say that already hasn't been said!! I'll make this short and sweet. One of Indianas best parks!! Easy to get to, lots of parking and lots of room for people to explore. Great for families, great solo hiking, great to do with pets. Not too technical but keep in mind there are the ladders on trail 3 that would be very difficult with large dogs or children/people afraid of heights. 11 different trails ranging from .5 miles to 2 miles, easy, to rugged. Tons of options. Great picnic areas, always clean and just a great time out here. Also when it's warm out there is some great tubing, canoeing, kayaking down the river through the park. read more

While I have not been to every state park in Indiana, I must say this is my favorite one I've been to so far! If I have out of state guests visiting who want to hike, I'll drive here from Indy because I think the drive is worth it. While it can get crowded in the summer, this state park has some fun, rugged trails that will lead you through Creeks with some light scrambling. Wear your Chacos to make sure you can get your feet wet! For people who have a dream of doing "The Narrows" at Zion--all the "canyoneering" you can do here is as good as it is going to get in Indiana :) The campground itself has a pool and an Inn, so there are also some great amenities at this state park as well. A great way to spend a summer day, if you ask me. Be sure to pack your picnic--you are going to need it after doing the five mile loop! read more

This is absolutely one of the best places to go hiking in Indiana. I love how many trails they have and they're all kind of difficult, which makes it fun. I've also not seen ladders used frequently and trail 3 has 3 of them for added fun. Once you cross the suspension bridge over sugar creek, you've got three options: take trail four or go right or left on trail three. I recommend left because then you go UP the ladders instead of DOWN. I probably would have peed a little at the idea of going down them. It's a long drop to very hard rock. So that's a nope from me. Luckily I chose correctly! Also, listen to the map. Trail three is very rugged. It was very fun though. And it rained yesterday and was very wet. The map is not wrong when it says parts may be impassable during high water. My friends foot slipped and she ended up in shin high water. In December. Oops. Absolutely cannot wait to go back. I'm going to do the covered bridge trail next time. read more

Definitely one of the best state parks in Indiana, and about an hour drive from downtown Indy. Beautiful fall leaves, variety of trails, and an affordable way to get great exercise and fresh air. BUT! When I went this fall, I learned that they are also piloting the Tailblazer Program to promote good dog safety habits at state parks. We were so intrigued by the signs at the entrance to our trail, we stopped by the visitor center on the way out. They have a PAWS Pledge that you take and then they have a bandana and treat for your dog. I'm 30 and thought it was so cute, so it would be such a fun little activity for kids and families with dogs! My dog loves to hike and it was fun to see how they are encouraging dogs to come to the parks, while also promoting pet safety there. read more

What a beautiful park. We only had three hours to spend here but we could have spent a couple of days. There is so much to see and do in this park. The hikes through the hollows and gulches are really cool as is the suspension bridge and the covered bridge. There were many more hikes we would like to do especially the ones with the ladders. I am glad we were here on a week day in fall - the colors were stunning and the crowds were not too bad (I can only guess how jammed this place must be on a summer weekend). I am glad we took a detour to stop at this park. read more

During Covid, we struggled where to go as a family. We stayed outside of the state park at some small cabins that were privately owned. We went to Turkey Run on three separate days. We were so excited to see the variety of trails and the geographical features. We've been to Scotland before as a family and so many of us said it reminded us of Scotland. If you spin around completely in some of the areas with the tall rock formations and water features, it would be hard to believe you were in Indiana. We also on one day, decided to do a two hour canoe trip with a local outfitter. You actually canoe on the river through Turkey Run and can see some of the beautiful cliffs and rock formations from the water in a different way versus inside the woods. Some of the trails are tricky when you are trying to hike through creek beds and see where the path goes, but there are markers if you pay attention. We had so much fun we plan to go back. If you are looking for an adventure, whether you're looking for leisurely hikes or really rugged terrain's and ladder system hikes, this is the place for you! We also were traveling with two young children and they were able to do most of the trails except for some of the ladder systems. Our group split up for that portion of the trails. I felt like the state park map was very accurate about the difficulty level. Some of the trails were labeled as more rugged and they had stairs and some climbing. The trails that said moderate to easy, truly were. Even the easy to Moderate trails were stunning. I think whatever your level of fitness, you will find true enjoyment inside of this state park. read more

One of my close friends and I both were in serious need of working off some stress and frustration. So we both bundled up, put on our waterproof hiking boots and headed off to Turkey Run, early in the morning. We pulled in at 10 a.m., and were surprised to find no one at the entry station. Assuming they must consider this "off season" and entry is free, we headed on in. However, I can't find anything online stating such. Maybe we just got lucky. Turkey Run is a beautiful state park with some fantastic trails that intertwine with river beds. Waterproof shoes with good traction is a must. It took us 3.5 hours to hike the entire park, all the trails, while stopping here and there to experiment with our cameras for some low light photography. read more

In some state parks you're lucky to get running water and trash service, but Turkey Run is 99% amenity central. Like many Indiana state parks, Turkey Run hosts an inn and restaurant, an olympic pool, camp store, electric campsite, and an excellent nature center. Historic sites like the Lusk House and Lieberman cabin/memorial sites are not off limits, and advocate reasons this awesome park is here. And the hiking is outstanding. Rocky Hollow--Trail 3-is the rock star of the Turkey Run trails. Pardon my pun, and do bring your boots. After crossing Sugar Creek's suspension bridge you hike through caverns passing Wedge Rock to the glacier erratic Punch Bowl. The temperature is cool, and fish swim the creek beside you. Whether continuing down the trails 3 ladders or taking the trail 5 detour with your large breed dogs, both return to trail 3's refreshing Ice Box cavern. On a hot humid Midwest day, this is a most refreshing escape. There are camp staples and souvenirs in walking distance from the park, and in the park nature center and campground store. Maybe rent a kayak or inner tube locally, but definitely pack in/pack out: tubers and kayakers have left way too many plastic bottles, shoes, and towels, and clothes along Sugar Creek. That, and the campground doesn't have recycling bins, and the resident campground raccoons have no trouble finding garbage you leave out. Be nice to this park. It's incredibly nice to you, and we need to keep it that way. read more

After a weekend hike and revisit to Turkey Run, I was quickly reminded why I love this Indiana treasure so much. From the lush moss and ferns growing over the rock formations to the ladders and somewhat challenging rock areas on the paths, this state park can often make it feel as if you're in another state... ya know, a greener (albeit, smaller) version of the slot canyons in southern Utah. The visitors center and state park inn are both on the older sides but in a way that oozes charm. The inn features both an indoor pool and small on-site restaurant. I'm personally a sucker for the fireplace in the communal room. Note that this is a popular spot in the fall months and it can be hard to book a room or cabin. However, in the winter months, they often offer 2 for 1 night deals. This area is also great for kayaking and canoeing adventures down the river. Here's to simple pleasures. read more

Yes, this place looks like the inside of a giant terrarium in spring/summer, but winter is my favorite time to go. But, as others have noted, you can't go wrong here for beautiful scenery and some scrambling in the woods; all about an hour from Indy. The park tends to be more crowded the closer you are to the suspension bridge. If you want photos with little/no people, winter is great or early in the day the rest of the year. The colder, less busy months also tend to increase bird traffic-I saw a bald eagle, pileated woodpeckers and numerous other birds at work in viewing distance. Many of the trails have either stairs, ravine sections or ladders. Keep this in mind if you have a dog, small children or accessibility concerns. In addition to the beautiful ravines, there's a covered bridge. If you visit (any time of year) please be respectful of posted signs and be prepared to carry out all trash-including dirty diapers. Entry to the park is $6 for in state residents, $7 out of state, I think. A state park pass is $50 (state residents). Rent spikes from the nature center ($3 for 2 hours , $1 per hour after) or bring Yaktrax if you go in winter. Stay safe. read more

FIRST time on trail #3 and it was AMAZING!!! I highly recommend this trail! Non-slip water shoes are a must as there are several areas where the only option is to walk through running water. I watched a YouTube video prior to this visit and knew what to expect, I was prepared, but several hikers on the trail did not realize and their shoes were wet and muddy(also several muddy areas)! As long as your dressed appropriately you'll have an amazing time! Park entry is $7 for Indiana residents(visit their site for full pricing details). This is one experience you're NOT going to want to miss! Trust me my photos do not give the sights justice, you will be in awe... I'm looking forward to return in the fall when the leaves change... I'm sure it will be equally picturesque! read more

I just love Turkey Run State Park. We visited over a nice May weekend. My first time to Turkey Run since I was probably 8 years old. He hiked, and hiked, and hiked some more. Moderately crowded for a Saturday. Lots of dogs on the trails. Very scenic with several landmarks to hike to and explore. A million good photo opportunities. Expect mud, uneven paths, water, bugs, and more. Some parts of the trails were under construction for repair--when you see the caution tape and warning signs do not ignore them! A very clean park for the most part (I did see numerous water bottles strewn about, but what else do you expect when there are zero trashcans along the trails?) You can stay at the Turkey Run Campground or at the Turkey Run Inn if you want to make a weekend out of it.A 1.5 hour drive from Champaign. Highly recommend. Great for the whole family. read more

This is an excellent spot for hiking in Indiana. Easily the best park I've been to thus far in my 25 years living in the Indiana/Illinois area. There are a bunch of different trails and each one is slightly different. Trail 3 and 9 are my favorite, as they are the most "rugged" and have things like ladders you have to climb. None of the trails are "difficult" so don't worry about anything being extremely hard. TIP: WEAR WATERPROOF SHOES. I have some of these and they were so clutch because some trails require walking in shallow (~3-6 inches) creeks. The alternative is trying to jump around/across on the rocks and logs, which generally is possible, but it's a lot more cumbersome. It's more fun if you're able to walk through and not have to worry about wet feet. Also, if you go in winter, even if the creeks aren't frozen, the logs in them will be covered in ice. That makes it almost impossible to get through without stepping in some water. Take your time moving through as there are many cool things to look at and take pictures of. I didn't expect this part of Indiana to be this scenic, but some of the cliffs here provide really nice viewpoints. We stopped and ate lunch on a rock overlooking the river and cliffs and it was pleasant. I recommend coming early in the morning or during the week, as the place can get busy on weekends. read more

Sure, Indiana is gifted with a lot of natural beauty, but after visiting Turkey Run a stroll in the woods will seem a little boring. If you're looking for adventure, the most rugged trails will take you up and down ladders, around the edge of a cliff, bouldering, and through shallow streams. The suspension bridge puts the "Indiana" in Indiana Jones. Great for kids. They've also got a historic house, gift shop, nature center and inn/restaurant. Cost was $7 for local Indiana cars at the time of the review. As for COVID, they say that masks are required in the park, but pretty much no one was wearing them on the trails. Once you got past the suspension bridge, social distancing was possible, so we didn't feel too unsafe. read more

To people on the coasts, Indiana is considered a "flyover state." It's quite unfortunate, as the Hoosier State is one of beauty. That beauty is best reflected in its parks. If you head in any direction in Indiana, you're bound to be surprised by our scenery. On the western edge of the state, in Parke County, lies Turkey Run, and it is nothing short of perfect. Turkey Run, the second-oldest of Indiana's state parks, rests on a glacial moraine. The eons of slowly moving ice created a land of cliffs, a large, flowing creek, and beautiful waterfalls. The park creates the perfect site for hiking, camping, swimming, and relaxing. My favorite activity at the park is hiking, and Turkey Run has some of the finest trails Indiana has to offer. I'm partial to Trail Three, which is rated "very rugged." While the trail is not suitable for all people, most will negotiate it with moderate effort. I suggest wearing waterproof hiking boots, so the trail can be fully enjoyed. Walking in the creek bed and searching for critters is one of my favorite pastimes. Plus, the part of the trail where you walk up the wet rock "staircase" is second-to-none. If you're interested in a bit of rural relaxation, a stay at the Turkey Run Inn is never a bad way to spend a weekend. Of course, camping is also plentiful in the park. If you want to get wet, there is a boring onsite pool - but really, there's no use for it when beautiful Sugar Creek is a stone's throw from the trails. While the park officially forbids visitors from swimming in the creek, everyone does it. Kayaks and tubes are available for rent at a nominal cost. There's so much to see and do at Turkey Run. Since this review hardly does it justice, you'll just have to see for yourself. read more

Had a great afternoon after a fresh dusting of snow. Everything looked great after the snow. Depending on the time of the year, hikers should be prepared to get wet, muddy, or cold. As their website warns, trails could become inaccessible if there's rain or melting. Almost all of the trails will require stair use; and many will require you to hike through wet/icy creek beds. If you like to get out in nature and you are prepared, Turkey Run offers some excellent hiking options. read more

This park is an unexpected gem in the middle of nowhere (aka corn) Indiana. I think I have officially walked all of the trails at this point- even the "rugged trails" are swept dirt/rock easily completed by inexperienced people in flip flops or small toddlers, so don't be afraid to go out of your comfort zone. The whole park is dog friendly, but there are some ladders on a trail that you would have to carry any furry friends. Many of the trails were slick wet sandstone, so I definitely recommend wearing shoes with good tread. Many of the trails a lot include stairs at some point, so people with bad knees should be aware. The only down side is the people. And there are so. many. people. Once you get more then ~10 minutes from the suspension bridge they thin out, but not enough that you can be on your own for a noticeable amount of time. For every person there to enjoy nature there are two to blast music on a speaker and throw their garbage on the ground. It would be really nice to see park rangers do something, but I've only actually seen one, doing nothing at the entrance to the trails while watching grown adults shake the suspended bridge to scare children. read more
