I have wanted to check this park out for a long time after seeing lots of pictures of the Tall…read morePines. So we went to BrewDog for lunch and then headed over to the park and took a walk in the Tall Pines area, and it did not disappoint! I only wish the Tall Pines were even more plentiful. (They are a good little chunk of the trail in the middle but not the entire trail is full of them but don't let that stop you!) They are beautiful and such a marvel. I could have just laid down and stared at them. The trail was flat and easy and was the perfect length for a nice afternoon walk. I'll definitely be back to stare at those tall trees some more :)

What a fabulous park! I'm kicking myself for not visiting sooner. It's about twenty minutes from my…read moreplace and I've been seeing beautiful pictures of the tall pines here forever. I like to hike on snowy days when the sun's out and over the weekend I took advantage of the prime weather conditions and made my way out there. There's a sign out front letting you know to turn and there's a relatively small parking lot to leave your car. The start of the trails were easy to find thanks to the signage and after getting my bearings I headed out. The trail turns and weaves for a couple miles making a few loops. It was pretty simple to navigate which was awesome. And while the parking lot was full, I didn't run into too many people. I love that! I enjoyed every minute of my time out there. If you're like me and in need of a little time to disconnect from the world, come here. Of course, the entire place was extremely photogenic, the tall pines area being the most instagram worthy. I could have laid down right in the middle of it and just enjoyed the sound of the birds, the wind, and the feeling of the warm sunshine on my face. The only thing is the only area I found to sit down was on the other side of the park. It would have been nice to see a few more benches scattered about. Come here. Soak up nature. The peace and quiet. Unwind and settle your brain. You're welcome.

Loved it, had lots of fun! Lost glasses and yeti and had laughs! Will be back soon!read more

Rafting family trip…read more We went on a Saturday to canoe. We had two adults and 3 kids in our group. I asked what they would recommend based on the river conditions. I was told we could not fit all 5 of us in the canoe we would need a raft. We decided on the 3 mile trip since it was supposed to take 2 to 3 hours. It only took about an hour. For the price I would recommend taking the 7 mile trip since it was a lot of money for a short period of time.

Even though it's a bit of a drive, this is my go-to place for canoeing and kayaking…read more It's just SO cheap compared to all the places further north, which are double or triple the price for less time on the river. We take the 14 mile trip, which essentially works itself out for $25 a person. The canoes and kayaks are a little older, the vans are older, they might not clean the life jackets super often, but it's a kickass time! But honestly, who cares! You're going to get dirty and sweaty canoeing or kayaking down the river. You really cannot beat the price for the experience. There's a lot less litter on the river compared to when I've went further north, less cars, and you are surrounded by corn fields. The river is simply beautiful and relaxing. It depends on the weekend whether or not there will be a lot of people - not many people do the 14 mile trip, so the first 7 miles of that are peaceful. After you hit the 7 mile mark, there tends to be a lot more people, as that's what most people take. 14 miles takes around 4-5 hours (or 6, depends on how much or little you're paddling, speed of the river, etc) , and 7 miles takes about half that. They also aren't strict at all on what you can bring/drink on the river, or if you need to stop, or anything else. In addition, if you do flip, the water level is 3 feet at most along the river. Just make sure to call ahead if it has been raining recently. I would recommend taking a trip out here out to the middle of nowhere to spend a summer day. It's a ton of fun and a good way to build teamwork trying not to flip a canoe or kayak.

We visited Morgan's yesterday for the second time this summer. It's a great meeting spot for friends that live in Cincinnati and Indianapolis. Our first visit was on a Thursday and the second was on a Sunday. There was a big difference in the amount of people when going during the week versus the weekend. I would highly suggest a weekday visit if you would prefer less people. After a brief safety talk, you grab a life vest, paddle, and boat and you are off! We did kayaking on both of our visits, but saw a lot of people out on canoes and rafts. It is about a 7 mile trip and both times it took us about 3 hours doing a relaxing trip down the river with minimal paddling and a lot of floating. We packed a picnic lunch and pulled our kayaks out on a shady spot and ate lunch. This is not a technically different kayaking route. There are a few sections that are rocky, have some tiny rapids, or tree roots that you need to navigate, but all in all, it is a beginner level trip perfect for the novice and fun for all. The equipment is good, staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The price is also good for a budget activity ~$30 per person! Let's talk about COVID-19 precautions: Morgan's takes this seriously! They are by reservation only and have designated checkin times. For our weekend checkin when it was busy, a man greeted us when walked up and directed us to an empty table to fill out our group's waiver. Once done, we took to a table with one staff member to checkin. All of this was outside. During the week, this was done in the building, but we were the only group. There are social distance markers on the ground, limit to 3 people per the changing room/restroom, social distance on the bus to bring you back, and all staff wore masks. Thank you for keeping us safe!

We had some bumps along the way, but otherwise, canoeing and kayaking with RiversEdge Outfitters was great! When I found out that we were doing the 9m ride I thought for sure it would be exhausting. But it was actually pretty relaxing and didn't notice how fast the time was passing. I also GREATLY appreciated the fact that they sold waterproof gear on site. Shoes, containers, phone bags...etc. I happen to forget my waterproof pouch for my phone and had a thought, "Oh, it'll be fine...I won't tip..." Changed my mind at the last minute before we got on the shuttle and man, I am GLAD I did...because when you say, "Oh, I won't tip..." You end up tipping. Thank you RiversEdge for a great time! : )
