  • 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

    Geologic Contrasts in Indiana State Parks Otis W. Freeman, Indiana University The state parks of Indiana, with sites selected largely for scenic and historic reasons but partly with the intent to secure wide geo- graphical distribution for recreational purposes, contain a fairly com- plete sequence of the geological formations outcropping in the state, besides providing examples for a large majority of the physiographic principles. Evidence of vulcanism is one of the chief things missing, since all of the exposed bedrock in Indiana is of sedimentary origin. Even so, many types of igneous and metamorphic rocks can be picked up among the glacial boulders in the northern part of the state. The oldest exposed rocks are those of the Ordovician period. Ex- cellent outcrops for the study of the Ordovician strata occur in south- eastern Indiana on the west flank of the Cincinnati Arch. The beds are highly fossiliferous and one of the famous collecting grounds for the life forms of this period is near Madison. Clifty Falls State Park includes strata classified in the upper Or- dovician, the Silurian and base of the Devonian periods. The Silurian rocks occupy the hill slopes above the falls and inner gorges in the park with the Devonian capping the higher hills. The Ordovician formations in the park area from the base up- ward, begin with 25 feet of the Bellevue, followed by 115 feet of the Arnheim, 55 feet of the Waynesville, 50 feet of the Liberty, about 32 feet of the Saluda and possibly 6 feet of Whitewater. Shale predominates from the Bellevue through the Liberty and is interbedded with thin layers and lenses of limestone, and in contrast the Saluda is a thick bedded limestone with reef corals occuring near its base.

    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.
