**FREE* TO THE PUBLIC!**

*does not include items from the food trucks, Sanctuary Nursery, or our gift shop

Take a self-guided hike! (approx 60 minutes)

Docents are stationed along the trail to ensure you don’t get lost and share information about all you will see on your hike, like wildflowers in bloom and the unique landscape of the dune. Stop and take in the native trees towering overhead, speckled with spring growth. See if you can find Hippo Rock (hint, it looks like a hippopotamus!).

It's a great way to connect with nature, exercise, and learn a few things about LC Nature Park.

Don’t miss Indiana Wild! (Mills Edu Center)

Don’t miss the furry and feathery and maybe even scaley creatures of Indiana Wild!
