Enjoy autumn’s color on IFI’s hiking event at Turkey Run State Park in Marshall, Indiana, on Wednesday, July 22nd. This is one of the most beautiful parks in the area! A picnic lunch will be provided by IFI near the Middle Shelter before we hike. The lunch will include some vegetarian options. IFI will provide transportation at a cost of $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 years old and under. If you drive your own car, the event is free. Please stay with our caravan of IFI vehicles to easily find the picnic site. Cell phones do not always work in certain low areas of the park. Sign up if you are positive that you will attend because your food and transportation is figured into the event’s planning details. Please sign up by October 21st.
.
We will email you with the transportation details a day or two before the trip. If you are driving your own car, we need to know that when you sign up. List any family members who will be attending with you when you sign up. Friends must sign themselves up for the event on IFI’s website at uiuc.ifiusa.org
.
Dress according to the weather report for that day. Wear shoes that can get wet and dirty on the park’s trails. Some trails are wet. Most trails are too difficult for children under 5 years of age, but there are a few trails that are easy. If your young children attend, you must supervise them carefully. Bathrooms are near the picnic area and are also in the Nature Center. There are no bathrooms on the trails. Even if you are not wanting to hike, the picnic, the Nature Center and the peaceful park setting provides for a very enjoyable experience to get outdoors!
