点评:This is a primitive state park near Turkey Run State Park In Midwestern Indiana. First named The Shades Of Death State Park.
The gatehouse is your only source of information. There's no nature center or visitor center. Get a park map! They do charge admission.
This is a hikers park & it has some of the most rugged trails in Indiana.
The Pine Hills Nature Preserve is maintained by the park. There's a parking area available to hike to the trailhead inside Shades. The Devils Backbone is a popular trail, but definitely on the rugged side. If you take small children (I wouldn't!) watch them carefully.
Trail 1 is .75M, but considered rugged. It has a lot of scenic views & a unique waterfall.
Trails 4 & 5 have ladders.
Deers Mill Covered Bridge is on the property & there's a canoe launch. This is not a drive through bridge.
The picnic area is a drive thru loop & is very nice. There's also a couple of shelters.
The pond looked pretty scummy & my husband wouldn't fish in it.
The campground is primitive camping - nonelectric . Water is available. There is a dump station. There is trail access if you don't want to drive.
There's one modern showerhouse & several pit toilets. Choose your site carefully!
Whitetail Loop has the showers & toilets.
We did a drive thru & most all the sites looked very nice. There were mostly tents with a few popups. This wouldn't be a campground I would choose if I had a big rig.
翻译:这是印第安纳州中西部火鸡跑州立公园附近的一个原始州立公园。最初名为死亡阴影州立公园。
门楼是您唯一的信息来源。这里没有自然中心或游客中心。请准备好公园地图!公园需要门票。
这是一个徒步旅行公园,拥有印第安纳州一些最崎岖的步道。
松山自然保护区由公园维护。公园内设有停车场,方便您徒步前往死亡阴影内的步道起点。魔鬼脊骨步道是一条热门步道,但绝对崎岖不平。如果您带小孩(我不会带!),请务必小心。
1号步道长0.75米,但算得上崎岖。沿途风景优美,还有一座独特的瀑布。
4号和5号步道设有梯子。
鹿磨坊廊桥位于公园内,桥上设有独木舟下水处。这座桥不能驾车穿过。
野餐区是一条可以驾车穿过的环路,非常漂亮。这里还有几个避难所。
池塘看起来很脏,我丈夫不会在里面钓鱼。
营地很简陋,没有电。有水源。有一个垃圾站。如果你不想开车,可以走小路。
这里有一个现代化的淋浴房和几个蹲坑厕所。请谨慎选择营地!
Whitetail Loop 有淋浴和厕所。
我们开车穿过营地,大多数营地看起来都很不错。大部分都是帐篷,还有几个弹出式帐篷。如果我有一辆大卡车,我不会选择这里。
