I went to Turkey Run State Park the other day. It has been a long time since I have taken a hike into the park. I usually park along the area where the Narrows Bridge is and walk into the park from that location. I can get into the park without having to go through the entrance gate. Well they have gotten tired of people doing this and so there were "no parking" signs all along the road in that area. Not wanting to have my car towed away I went through the gate. It cost me $4 and really made me feel very guilty about going into the park through the back door. It is wonderful for someone to have the concern about saving such an area in its natural state. My small part of $4 certainly won't do much toward the maintenance of the area but I certainly appreciate the work that is done here.
I know that there are many other areas similar to this but to have an area like this here in an area that is generally thought of as flat is ironic. I am glad that I went in through the entrance because I would never have travelled to Rocky Hollow if I had gone in the other way. I had forgotten how beautiful this park is.
These pictures cannot capture the beauty of the park but I hope you enjoy them.
