“For a day out in nature.....” |
I had made no plans but plans were made for me. It turned out to be a nice day as we visited this State Park which was just recently in the past couple of years had it name changed from Wyandotte State Rec. Area to O'Bannon State Park in honor of of late past governor of Indiana.
There is a fee to enter the State Park so be prepared. Actually I am not sure what the fee is as our friends whom planned the day of for us paid the way in. I do know that if you live in Harrison County Indiana it is cheaper then if you live in a different county of Indiana or a different State.
You will have a wonderful doing many activities that they have planned or you plan yourself. There are about 5 hiking trails which there are also trails which you are able to ride horses on too.
