Turkey Run State Park is one of Indiana’s best-kept secrets, a hidden gem that rivals even the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains. Located in Central Indiana, this park offers an incredible hiking experience that’s hard to find anywhere else in the state.

Recently, visitors have discovered that Turkey Run is at its most breathtaking when the weather is less than perfect. Rainy days bring the park to life in unexpected ways.
