Eagle Creek Activities??

[woodcox]

Just moved to the Eagle Creek area from downtown. I bought a home near Eagle Creek because I love water and woods, but have not had the chance to visit. How do some of you take advantage of Eagle Creek?

The single best feature of the park is the pistol range.

Eagle Creek Pistol Range
sjstill, who is an INGO member, is the rangemaster there.

Aside from that, we go a couple times a year just for the hiking trails and nature sightseeing. There are also some nice picnic and play areas for the kids.

Just remember, it is an Indy Park property. Disarm yourself before entering...

I will certainly keep that in mind.

4th largest Municipal Park in the US, IIRC.

Lotta trails to walk. Lotta wildlife to see (4 leggers and 2 leggers). Earth Discovery Center is pretty cool. Canoeing in the summer. Fishing.

There's stuff on the 'backside' of the park that may not get as much attention. Eagle's Hideaway and Eagles Crest are rental facilities for parties, weddings, etc. There are some trails off the beaten path around the Crest.

A few years ago when I used to fly-fish a lot, I hit Eagle Creek (the creek) up off 86th (?) street, waded upstream and hit a bunch of Wipers (white bass/striped bass hybrids).

Bark Park if you have pups.

Triathlons frequently in the warmer weather.

Oh, yeah, the Pistol Range :-)
