The small piece of Steelworkers Park at the eastern end of 87th is public land. Arden Katz said perch are still i...

(UNDATED) – Welcome 2021 with an Indiana DNR tradition — a First Day Hike on January 1st. First Day Hikes are a healthy way to start the new year and provide a chance to get outside, exercise, and enjoy nature. These hikes have become a tradition for thousands of Hoosiers.
