Drove out to Laurel Indiana for a day of riding dirt bikes with a couple friends of mine. We came…read moreduring the week and were the only ones in the entire park. It's nice as it is only about 65 minutes from Cincinnati $20 day pass is a fair price for a day to explore the 750 acre off road vehicle park. Great trails some are easy and others are very Challenging. Just depends what path you want to go. The only negative from my point of view are the deep ruts from the full size Jeeps, Trucks etc. I wish it was only limited to bikes, quads, and side by sides etc.

My wife and I along with some family and friends came here this past Sunday. I'll start off by…read moresaying it's not a bad trip to get there, they could use a bit better signs to let you know where to pay, just for people like my wife and I that was our first time here. But that's not really a big deal. There was a girl that set us all up with signing the waiver and taking our money and all that stuff, she was very nice and an older gentleman that was just hanging around which I'm sure worked there as well and was friendly just as much. The price was $25 each and they gave us a card so if you come back within the year you bring that card with you to get $5 off admission. Giving this place is for muddin' I thought the restrooms looked very nice, can't expect them to be squeaky clean when there's mud everywhere outside. We took Jeep's and RZR's out for a good muddin' time! Enjoyed it very much. Was nice that our group was pretty much the only ones out there, that was probably due to it was freezing outside and it was SuperBowl Sunday, but being there early in the day I figured there'd been more people, but I'm not complaining. I'm sure we'll be back, probably when it warms up a bit, haha! If you like muddin' or never have done it I'd highly recommend it, as this was my and my wife's first time we throughly enjoyed it!

This is a nice park. I do not think it gets many visitors due to its location. It is right off of a…read morebusy street. The park spans 127 acres and was previously owned by Cosco Products company, which hoped to create an employee recreational area, but it was never fully developed. The county received the property from the Cosco in 2007. The park's name, ECO, is an acronym derived from Employees of Cosco (ECO). The work "Lake" was added to the name to highlight the lake. The park runs along ECO Lake and has an ample amount of parking available. You will find a nice public boat launch that feeds right into the lake. There are also picnic tables and benches positioned in locations around the lake's perimeter. They provide very scenic views. The park has a sand volleyball court and a basketball court right next to each other. They are in fair to good shape. This park features a lot of green space, a moderate amount of shade, a picnic shelter with picnic tables under it, and a playground area. The playground area is not the most modern, but it is decent. It has a medium sized metal play structure with a bunch of slides, a net climber, and monkey bars. The playground also has a bank of traditional swings, monkey bars, and pull up bars. This is a very nice, low key park with lots of open pace. There is a gravel road that leads to the back of the park. That road will take you to camp sites and only registered campers are authorized to go past the gate. I like this park, but think it is just in a bad location. It could use a little bit of an upgrade such as a new shelter because the current one is in bad repair and maybe a restroom facility. They current have a port a potty there, that is located by the shelter and playground area. Definitely a nice place to visit and get access to the lake. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

There are…read moremany banquet halls, lodges, clubs, and outdoor settings that can accommodate a wide variety of events such as; weddings, graduations, retirement parties, birthday's, and much more. The town has many well kept parks and recreation centers, including a large public pool with huge curly slide. The small town is about 20 minutes south east of Indy, and easily accessible via i74. The rural area offers many great backdrops during all 4 seasons for photographers to capture those special moments such as; old barns, wide open fields of grass, wheat, corn, etc, old tractors, 100+ yer old elegant homes with original charm, a beautiful limestone courthouse, as well as all the modern scenery of a small town mixed with the old slower moving lifestyle of the citizens living here. The town is overall pretty safe, with low crime rates, as many locals have lived their lives here, know each other, and are willing to even help a stranger in need. During the summer months the downtown public square offers many events, and during Christmas time it is decorated with lights and boasts a Santa's workshop. Plenty of local mom-n-pop businesses as well as most of the major national chain restaurants and stores are located here. Stop in for some great food and friendly conversation with the locals.

Robert D. Garton was a State Senator and the longest serving legislative leader in the history of…read moreIndiana. Garton has a long list of honors that are noted on a plaque in the park. Garton also served with the U.S. Marine Corps from 1955-1957. The Plaza, which honors Garton, sits slightly north of the Robert Stewart Bridge in Columbus. The most notable feature of the plaza is a large nine ton metal and concrete sculpture. The artist, Peter Lundberg, named the sculpture, Daquqi, from a Rumi poem. The Plaza is not easily accessed. There is no parking. There is a sidewalk, but there are no cross walks across the busy highway. The Plaza is in need of love. While the grounds were mowed, the area was weedy and the plaza sign needed cleaning.

The playground…read morestructure is almost like a little town, which sounds strange but just wait until you see it. There are so many ramps and inclines and towers and bridges and forts and and and ... it's almost overwhelming. Just so much stuff! What else? There are slides galore, even a slide that is made out of small pipes that move as you slide. There are two of these! Monkey bars, balancing beams, swings, teeter totters, a climbing rock and much, much more. One of the neat things about this park is that it is built so that it's accessible for everyone. There are lots of ramps, so people in wheelchairs have an easy time enjoying the playground, too. There is a huge field here, which would be perfect for running around or flying a kite. There is also one short basketball hoop. Freedom Field Park is attached to an elementary school, so the playground is open to the public every day EXCEPT Monday through Friday from 10:30 to 1:30 when school is in session. Every other time, you can play 'til your heart's content.

Some parks are beautiful…read more Versailles State Park reminded me why it's worth slowing down. From the moment we arrived, there was something new to discover. The historic covered bridge feels enormous when you're standing beneath it, and stepping into the shade inside was an instant relief from the warm day outside. The weathered wood, years of wear, and little imperfections only added to its character. The waterfall became its own soundtrack for the afternoon. Between the rushing water and the constant chorus of birds, the park somehow felt full of life while remaining incredibly peaceful. A fisherman had found a quiet spot along the river, another visitor was reading beneath the trees, and everyone seemed to be enjoying the park at their own pace. One of my favorite memories came before we even started hiking. While we were sitting in the car looking over the trail map, a smiling gentleman waved from his pickup and asked, "Do you enjoy nature?" Of course we said yes. Grinning from ear to ear, he led us to a tiny opening in the trees and pointed toward the shoreline where a Great Blue Heron was quietly hiding. It's such a simple interaction, but it perfectly captured what I love about state parks. People aren't just there to enjoy nature--they're excited to help others experience it too. Later, while watching a butterfly drift along the trail, I happened to glance down at just the right moment and spotted the tiniest little frog sitting beside the path. He was still there on our hike back, and I couldn't help but smile knowing other hikers would probably get the same surprise. By the time we left, I felt completely recharged. Versailles State Park isn't a place to rush through. It's a place to wander, look up at the towering canopy, look down at the little things you'd normally miss, and let nature slow you down for a while.
