Feels more rocky mountain wilderness than Indiana. Desolate with a cearwater pond full of fish. Peaceful, quiet, long trails. Great place to ride mountain bikes. Creek bordering west side of quarry great for kids to cool off in. Its like a vacation from Indy but only 45 min West of it. Oh and...FREE! :) P.S. Stay for stunning sunset views from the atop the quarry
Great place to go to get out of town and enjoy nature. Trails are nicely laid out and maps labeled with different levels of difficulty. Great place to bird watch or other wildlife or have picnic. Wooded are and open space for kite flying or to throw a frisbee. Covered deck with seating. Kids love this place, pet friendly.
Well maintained. Trails are well groomed all year round. Easy hiking with great views.
Very beautiful park. It has a lot of different trails, some around the quarry and some that follow the river and into the forest. Great for families and pet friendly.
Nice wide well maintained paths and lovely views.
It is truly always a delight to work at the Prindle Institute for Ethics. The state of the art facility is gorgeous and set apart from the rest of the administrative buildings and classrooms in a curated segment of nature. Super peaceful vibes and accommodating staff. DePauw scholars I’ve worked with who have taken courses at the Center have all given positive reviews.
Always beautiful and well kept, just wish bathrooms were available all the time.
Stunning park, nothing like it in Indiana! I had to double check location to see if this was still in Indiana! Very unique foliage and rock formations. Not to mention the small pools of water on the inside of the bowl full of animal life.
My favorite place so far in Indiana! So pretty such good energy
So peaceful. Love it
It has a lot of trails and its very beautiful there.
Its amazing! Great for kids and the dogs a like
Not sure if I should brag about this place....it might become more crowded. Lol. We like this place very much. Well marked trails, variety to chose from. Nothing too long either. You can easily add to your distance if needed. Grat spot for bird enthusiasts as well.
I love the many different trails!
Its beautiful and we saw a lot of wildlife today :)
Beautiful well maintained park. Lots of interesting sights. Easy to hike!
What a wonderful Park, a lot of hiking trails by a beautiful River and it was peaceful and so quiet. I got my internal batteries charged up. Lol Defiantly Will be going back!! Would reccomend!!
State is level 4 opening, while Nature Park bathrooms are still closed. This is unacceptable for people with kids, or walking from far distance to park and may need the restroom.
Love this nature park. Nice place to get some peace.
This park is amazing. The results are well taken care of and there are a variety of different reasons to run, walk or bike. The results are beautiful too which makes it better.
The best use of an old quarry. I love walking the rim trail every time I visit since it offers a great view of everything.
Beautiful park, well maintained. Enjoy nature and some peace and quiet.
Always beautiful. Very well taken care of. Def. One of the best gems on DePauw campus!
Walk, run, bike, hike, pet friendly, & free. What the hell else could you want out of a park,?
Easy trails... Fantastic staff... Very nice above and beyond.
Great place to walk trails. Peaceful area
Had a great time with my boyfriends little sister. The trails where beautiful!
Hidden gem in Central Indiana! Walk the rim of a quarry and the floor of a quarry. Unique experience.
Beautiful sights.
I love to walking trough the woods! And I feel safe!
Gorgeous views, 10 miles of nice clear trails
Incredible place. Love the trail system.
I walk here everyday the indoor track is closed. It is free, has developed trails, nice parking and is very safe. The hardest work out is the rim trail around the abandon gravel pit. Step grade. The remaining trails are creekside. All trails are wooded and much to experience in both flora and fauna.
Hands down one of the best places in our town.
Beautiful place. Nice and peaceful.
Love taking our dog Charlie here. Everyone we meet seems to enjoy the visit! Beautiful environment. Thank you very much!
Quiet & relaxing. Great place to get exercise & enjoy nature.
Gorgeous place for a walk with very well maintained trails.

My wife and I love it, we are lucky to have a son live nearby, do the visits are extra special

Park like stting with various nature trails.
Great place to go for a walk jog ride and to get rooted right into nature an has a very informative welcome center
Take our Ms. Rosie for walks there, she is part bloodhound so it takes a long time since she has to smell everything along the way. She loves it and so do we.
Come, be transported to a place that will take your mind off your worries. Stunning views for trail running, as well as hiking. A old rock quarry, with trails on both the upper rim and along the waters edge. Enjoy!
Great place to explore with kids!
Nice lil park and pretty view
Beautiful trails. Very nicely maintained.
Great place to get away for walk jog bike ride
Amazing trails near big Walnut Creek and around old quarry! Well maintained!
Beautiful, secluded park out of an old quarry. Miles of trails great for bikes, dogs, and hiking. I come here almost weekly in the summer
What a gem. Really beautiful park and a lot of effort has obviously been put into the upkeep and maintenance. Check out the river while you are there.
Its a nice place to walk. Thats about all I saw. No fishing for sure, maybe no bicycles too?
Beautiful place for hiking, nature and taking pictures
I love the nature trails, and you can see a lot of wildlife there. My dogs love it too :)
Beautiful. Well laid out
Beautiful! One of the cleanest public places I have ever visited.
A free, clean, and pretty nature park. You can picnic here. Many shade on most trails. Suggest to park at the behind parking lot.
Just beautiful and serene.
Nice park !
Nice trails. Bring the bug spray in spring, summer and early fall.
Nice place for hiking. Variety of scenery and an impressive view from the top of the quarry.
Beautiful place
This is an old stone quarry. Lots of hiking and bike trails ~8 miles I think. Never crowded.
Great hiking on well maintained crushed gravel paths. Scenic views including overlooks, creekside trail, wooded trails, and quarry bottom path with pond.
Very enjoyable.
This is a lovely place to spend an afternoon. The trails are well marked and maintained.
Beautiful place to relax and unwind while getting some exercise and breathing fresh air!
Run, walk, and bike trails. Great views, I love to run here.
Well kept nature park with something for all!
Great place for a nice fall hike!
