  • The Indiana State Trails · Greenways & Bikeways Plan
    THE INDIANA STATE TRAILS · GREENWAYS & BIKEWAYS PLAN STATE OF INDIANA Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Governor State House, Second Floor Indianapolis, Indiana 46204 Dear Trail Enthusiasts: With great excitement, I welcome you to travel the path down our state’s latest comprehensive trails plan. Not since our state park system was created has the state undertaken an outdoor initiative of this potential scope. This initiative will soon begin uniting our state’s disconnected routes and place every Hoosier within 15 minutes of a trail. The whole will be much greater than the sum of its parts and will benefit Hoosiers from all walks of life. We doubled state funding from $10 million to $20 million annually to take advan- tage of this unique network of opportunities, and at first glance this is a recreation initiative, but we intend it to be much more. Our trails plan will encourage healthy habits in Hoosiers, boost tourism and enhance Indiana’s ability to attract new investment and jobs. Our trail investments can deliver. As Hoosiers enjoy our new trails, they will be hiking, walking, and rid- ing over miles of new high-speed telecommunications and utility conduits. Access to outdoor recreation also ranks among the features potential companies seek for their employees when locating a business. Real success will require the help of local communities, businesses, and private philanthropies. Let’s join together as we create something that will be the envy of the nation! Sincerely, Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. HOOSIERS ON THE MOVE THE

    Visit us at www.stateparks.IN.gov What’s New at Indiana State Parks in 2018 Below is a snapshot of work we have done and will do to prepare for your visits in 2018. There are many other small projects not listed that help manage and interpret the facilities, natural and cultural resources, and history of Indiana’s state park system. Indiana’s 32 state park properties have more than 2,000 buildings, 700 miles of trails, 636 hotel/lodge rooms, 17 marinas, 75 launching ramps, 17 swimming pools, 15 beaches, 7,701 campsites, more than 200 shelters, 160 or so playgrounds and 150 cabins. In recent years, we have focused attention on campground and cabin improvements, filling full-time and seasonal staff positions, and continuing a tradition of excellence in interpretation and in hospitality at Indiana State Park inns. We have a new 5-year plan, based on public responses to our Centennial Survey (more than 10,000 responses) and input from staff. It focuses on facilities and trails, improving efforts to manage our natural resources and remove invasive species, investing in technology, looking at ways to be more environmentally responsible, and training and support for park staff. Learn about our mission, vision and values at stateparks.IN.gov/6169.htm. We have wonderful partners and volunteers. Our Friends Groups and other donors contributed thousands of dollars and labor hours for projects and events. Creative and dedicated employees stretch the dollars that you pay when you enter the gate, rent a campsite, launch a boat or attend a special workshop or program.

  • Report of State Geologist, 18Q6. WASHINGTON's Monmlent
    Report of State Geologist, 18Q6. PLATE IV. WASHINGTON'S MONmlENT MARENGO CAVE. INDIANA CAYES AND THEIR FAUNA. BY W. S. BLATOHLEY. The Bubcarboniferous limestone area of southern Indiana contains many sink holes and caves within its bounds. This area is, for the most part, embraced in the counties of Owen, Monroe, Lawrence, Washington, Orange, Harrison and Crawford. Going southward from the center of the State, the sink holes first become a prominent feature of the surface in eastern Owen and western Morgan Counties, and are found in num­ bers thereafter, in the area mentioned, until the Ohio River is reached, beyond which, in Kentucky, they are said to be still more numerous, in Sink many portions of the State averaging 100 to the square mile. These sink holes vary much in size, sometimes being but a Holes. rod or two across, and again embracing several acres in extent. They are, for the most part, inverted cones or funnel shaped cavities, and, where small, usually have the sides covered with a matt~d growth of vines and shrubs. Where larger, trees of varying size are often found growing from the scanty soil on the sides, or from the bottom of the sink. If one will examine closely the lowest point of a sink hole, he will usually find a crevice or fissure through the limestone, or sometimes a la~ge opening which, if it be possible to enter, will be found to lead to an underground cavity-a cave. Both sink holes and caves not only owe their origin, but usually their entire formation, to the slow, unceasing action of rain or carbonated water upon the limestone strata in which they occur.

    Southern Indiana's Recreational Triangle Thomas Frank Barton, Indiana University In Southern Indiana's Recreational Triangle are found not only most of the state-owned outdoor recreational facilities but also the physical potentials which, if developed, would enable this region to become not only the leading recreational area of the state but also one of the chief recrea- tional areas of the entire Ohio River watershed. It is urgent that these potentialities be recognized now and developed within the next ten years or some of the latent recreational assets may disappear. At this writing, October, 1961, the state- and national-owned recrea- tional facilities could be better coordinated. Some of the potentialities of this triangle apparently are not recognized or are neglected by local, state and national agencies. As far as the writer knows, the region presented has never been identified, bounded, named or characterized. In this paper the author wishes to call attention to the area and, if possible, contribute suggestions for the region's coordinated development. Although it is located, in part, in the depressed area of the state where there is a surplus of labor and an outward migrating population, here the natural resources of forest, water and recreation are underdeveloped. General Characteristics Boundaries. Southern Indiana's Recreational Triangle is bounded on the west by the Wabash River and on the south and southeast by the serpentine course of the Ohio River. Its non-river boundary is formed by drawing three straight lines: (1) the first connects the junction of the Indiana-Illinois state boundary and the Wabash River with Turkey Run State Park, (2) the second a short line connects the Turkey Run and Shades State Parks and (3) the third connects the Shades State Park and the junction of the Indiana-Ohio boundary and the Ohio River.
