Turkey Run State Park 2 – Marshall – Indiana

Turkey Run State Park  - Marshall - Indiana

A view of Trail 3 in Turkey Run State Park, near Marshall, Indiana. Trail 3 is quite unique as you follow a deeply carved sandstone gorge, surrounded by deep green forest, moss, and vegetation. Throw in a creek running through it all, ladders, and plenty of people and its almost like an obstacle course at a water park. Reminds me a little of the Narrows in Zion Canyon National Park, but over a much shorter distance, and with a lot more climbing, and quicker twists and turns.
