We've been on an outdoors kick this year and have been hiking a lot with the kids (8, 4, and 2) we've been doing salamonie river sf, salamonie res., mississenewa, and chain o lakes. What dnr properties have good trails for kids? Chain o lakes had 4 that our kids loved and were able to do. Our 2 year old refused to be carried and hiked a 1.3 mile trail this past weekend and loved every second of it. I believe it was trail 9 at chain o lakes that was a bit too much for the younger 2 and they had to be carried for a chunk of it. We're looking for some new properties to try out and bonus points if the property has a nature center.
