Due to the latest restrictions related to the ongoing COVID-19 public health emergency, all in-person programs at Indiana state parks have been cancelled. This means that all scheduled naturalist led hikes at Lincoln State Park (including those scheduled on 3/27 and 3/28) have been cancelled as well. State parks remain open with entrance fees waived, but offices and nature centers are closed to the public. Please practice hand washing and social distancing when visiting the parks.

Whether you’re looking to stay active and continue a fitness habit or just embarking on a new healthy lifestyle to get in shape, your Indiana state parks (especially Lincoln State Park in our book) provide the perfect place to get moving. Hitting the trails is a great way to not only get your heart rate going, but to connect with nature. Regular hiking at your nearest state park will improve your physical health AND your mental health. So, what are you waiting for? Take a hike already!
Interpretive Naturalist Michael Crews will be leading regular hikes in throughout the year in 2020. This is an opportunity to perhaps see areas of the park you’ve never seen before and to learn about the historical and natural resources of Lincoln State Park. Below is a schedule of February hikes. Hope to see you there!
