On my birthday we took a morning hike at Summit Lake State Park in Indiana. The park is named after the large lake in its boundaries. Compared to other state parks in Indiana, there are not as many hiking trails and the trails are shorter. The longest trail is about two miles in length. The park makes up for it in the quality of the trails. Several of the trails border the lake, giving some amazing views. The longest trail takes you through forest, prairie, and along the lake, providing a great variety of nature!
Above is a view of the lake along the trail we hiked. Although our purpose for visiting the park was a morning hike, there are several picnic shelters, a campground, and a beach for swimming, so plenty of options for some outdoor family fun.
State parks are a great way to get out and enjoy the outdoors. Take advantage of state parks near you to get out and enjoy nature if you can. Although many programs are shut down due to COVID-19, you can still social distance at a park. They are great ways to get out of the house, remains safe, and take in the views nature provides.
