Eagle Creek Park is the largest park in Indianapolis, and one of the largest municipal parks in the United States. It is located at 7840 W. 56th Street in Indianapolis, Indiana and covers approximately 1,400 acres (5.7 km2) of water and 3,900 acres (16 km2) of land. There are about 10 miles (16 km) of paths within it. Eagle Creek Park serves primarily as a nature reserve. Before coming into the possession of Indianapolis, the land was owned by Purdue University, and by Josiah K. Lilly Jr. before that. The Eagle Creek Park Foundation serves to promote volunteerism and provide funding for the Park and its programs. [1]
Over 16 miles of trails provide an active escape in one of Indianapolis’ most serene settings. Six major trails along with additional trails located at the Ornithology Center wind throughout the park and are easy-to-moderate in difficulty. Natural and gravel paths lead you through mature woods filled with beech, maple, tulip, white ash and black cherry into open meadow areas, and past the reservoir and Lilly Lake. You’re bound to encounter some wild, as well as companion animals as you venture over bridges, steps, and a few steep hills. The Indianapolis Hiking Club plans frequent group hikes in the park as well. To get involved, log on IndyHike.org. [2]
Also, with 20 exercise stations and a total of 32 exercises, the Fitness Trail on the north end provides a unique opportunity for a vigorous hike as it brings the indoor gym outdoors. Signage at each station explains every exercise and how to monitor your heart rate. [2]
