A couple of weeks ago, we made a family visit to Fort Harrison State Park near Indianapolis, IN. This is a state park very close to a heavily populated area, but one, that once you are inside, does not feel urban or suburban at all. This was our first visit to this park and I'm regretting not visiting sooner! Due to its proximity to a large population center, this park can be heavily populated. During busy times it can take a while to get into the park as there is a long line of cars going through the gatehouse checkpoint. But once inside, it is a large park with plenty of parking, and plenty of really cool hiking trails to separate yourself from the crowds.

Despite a very busy day when we were there, the non-paved hiking trails felt like a non-busy day at a state park. So if you are trying to social distance, you can still do so at this park, despite what may look like a huge crowd!
The park offers several miles of wooded hiking trails and plenty of areas for a picnic, with several picnic stations setup along the river that runs through the park.
If you need to get out of the house and need to social distance, Fort Harrison state park is a good place for you!
