January hiking opportunities

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 walking.  Hitting the trails and going for a hike 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?  Let’s start hiking!  

Interpretive Naturalist Michael Crews will be leading regular hikes in January and 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 January hikes.  Hope to see you there!
