Want a mini vacation? Try a state park

By JERI SEELY Feel like you need a vacation but don’t have the time for an extended trip? How about a mini vacation at one of Indiana’s many state parks. Our choice was Turkey Run near Marshall in Parke County This park was established in 1916 and covers 2,335 acres. It lies along the banks of Sugar Creek and offers a rustic inn, cabins and two camp grounds for over night accommodations. The legend of the name Turkey Run came from the early residents of the area who remembered thousands of wild turkey which collected in great rocks under the natural protection of the overhanging cliffs. During the time the Miami <ndians lived in the area, many of the turkeys were trapped by the Indians among the deep hollows and were taken for food. Thoughts of home come to mind when one learns that the word run indicates a creek — Turkey Creek. A souvenir map is given each vehicle driver upon entering the park. It shows each of the park's 10 trails as well as other facilities available. Turkey Run State Park is a must for the nature lover, camper, hiker or those who only want to rest and relax. The park's recreational areas for the most part are "original America,’’ preserving for posterity typical primitive landscapes of scenic grandeur and rugged beauty. Offered in the main camp ground are modern facilities. Occupancy is limited to two weeks. Some sites will accommodate trailers. No individual water or sewer hookups, but electricity is available. A dumping station is available. s Some campsites are available for reservation. A rally campground is also available.

SUSPENSION BRIDGE — Most of the trails at Turkey Run are located across Sugar Creek and can only be reached by taking the suspension bridge shown here or a covered bridge located at the far end of the park.

Memorial Day and closed this week. A second, smaller pool is located at thFinn for its guests. Hiking is the big feature of the park with miles of easy to rugged trails. The map shows 10 trails. In our two-day stay we found time to try half of them. Trail one is the big tree trail. Here we found sycamores and several huge black walnut trees plus a covered bridge over Sugar Creek. We didn't have time to take trail two which follows under cliff edges. It’s listed as a trail for the more adventurous. Trail three was our second choice. It features unusual hiking between the steep walls of both Rocky and Bear Hollows. Four follows a fine little valley to the Lusk home, the old quarry and coal mine. We had to take this trail from the covered bridge at the end of trail one in

The sixth trail is a short hike where the turkeys once roosted on the ledges. The Strauss Memorial is found on this trail. Our only problem here was we ran out of trail and found ourselves walking a small stream, but. who could care less on a warm sunny day. Trail seven is listed as a quick trail for the short-time visitor This trail became our ‘‘friend’' as we stayed at the campground and trail seven is located between the camp and other activities and trails at the park.

We’ve been on it before and we shall return at another time to take it again as well as the other trails we missed. Comments on the souvenir map and information sheet states, the quiet trails through these reservations, it is to be expected that the average citizen will find release from the tension of his overcrowded daily existence; that the contact with nature will refocus with a clear lense his perspective on life’s values and that he may here take counsel with himself to the pnd that his strength and confidence are renewed. ’’
