(June 14, 2022, 8:54 am)Lovely wooded area with surprising elevation change for Indiana! Not a destination for out-of-state visitors, but a nice place to walk in nature for locals. The main drawback is it is so close to I-69, the noise of which disrupts the natural ambiance. Bicentennial Woods is preferred for this reason.
(June 9, 2022, 11:01 am)I really enjoyed my hike here and got to see a deer drinking from a stream within just a few feet from me! The only downfall was I'm just starting to hike and got lost out there for a while. There aren't really any signs along the paths and with there not being just one to take, it got confusing. If you're a pro, you'll love it! If you're a beginner like me, REMEMBER LANDMARKS!!!
(November 21, 2020, 2:02 am)The views are amazing, the interstate has its noises. I visited on the 18th of November and was spooked often by the gusts of wind. Maybe the road noise added the spooky factor? Peaceful besides that, absolutely loved it, giant houses can be seen through the naked trees, and across the creek. The one grassy area down a ways from the path was so beautiful in the sunrise, nice greens and happy deer. Was quite a challenge to tread quietly so as not to disturb the wildlife. I attached pictures, absolutely loved the older trees!
(October 25, 2019, 7:15 pm)An interesting trail with some elevation challenges, about 50 feet at some points down to the creek. Paths do have boardwalks in wet areas. Trail markers are posted at main intersections, and boundaries of the Preserve are well defined. There are benches at strategic locations including overlooks of the creek. It's a nice area.
(August 10, 2019, 7:52 pm)Very nice hiking area. A good mix of habitat. Even though it's close to the highway, it's not too loud and it's kind of cool seeing the highway from the trail. There were quite a few birds back here, which I was hoping since I'm a birder. Bugs weren't too bad actually, just watch out for those spiky spiders that make their webs over the trail.

Preserve Description. Although the hum of Interstate 69 is ever-present at this preserve, the woods and wetlands here serve as reminders of how this area looked before the highway and subsequent development transformed the region. James and Rebecca Vandolah moved to the area in 1837, raising a large family on the homestead. The property ...
