The Tecumseh Trail is a 43 mile moderately challenging trek through Southern Indiana. Its not especially difficult as the hills are not steep and water can be easily obtained. There is limited camping along the trail.

Hawthorn Park, Terre Haute, Indiana
Hawthorn Park has long been my favorite park in Terre Haute. I’ve ran laps around the lake preparing for the Indy Mini Marathon. I’ve backpacked the trails practicing for longer trips. The wife and I have enjoyed kayaking the smaller lake. There are a couple different playgrounds for kids (and they love them). The labyrinth is a relaxing meditative change from hiking the hills.
Maple Avenue Nature Park, Terre Haute, Indiana
No, this isn’t some challenging hike through canyons. It’s a pleasant, relaxing walk around a lake across from an elementary school and only a few blocks from Collett Park.
Exploring Historic Bridgeton, Indiana
Bridgeton is a small town in Parke County in West Central Indiana. It is an annual host to the Covered Bridge Festival in October.
Turkey Run State Park, Marshall, Indiana
I’m not sure I’ve ever met anyone that didn’t like Turkey Run State Park. Its a refuge in a state covered in corn and beans. Its known for its gorges and canyons cut out of Mansfield sandstone.
Shades State Park, Waveland, Indiana
Shade State Park in west central Indiana is simply beautiful. Its often overlooked as many Hoosiers choose Turkey Run, a nearby state park, but Shades has plenty to offer. Its usually less crowded with the views as still amazing. There is plenty of hiking between canyons and cliffs across the 3000 acres.
