I ran a few intervals at this park. There are well maintained shaded trails that are quite scenic. The park has some hills but nothing too vertical to handle. This was my first run in Indiana and although there's a lot of humidity, there's also a lot of oxygen! I'd definitely run here again!

There were some good bike trails, but you had to navigate around construction and there were tons of mosquitoes. Every one of is was bitten alive in the woods.

Cool little park. Trails are great, and range from begginer to intermediate (maybe advanced) if you're mountain biking. Nothing super challenging if you're experienced, but fun and well maintained. Decent parking.
