Crossing Over!
Turkey Run State Park
Okay, I must admit that it was difficult to leave the
comfort of the inn but there were trials to explore. Our adventure begins once we cross over the famous suspension bridge.
Throughout the years, I have trudged through the parks’ many
trails, but Trail #3 has always been our favorite. Trail # 3 is
rough and tough, no wimps allowed. There are vertical ladders that must be conquered
to triumphantly complete this trail. There is no
doubt that Trail #3 is challenging because there is even a T-shirt that you can
purchase to declare that you are a “Trail # 3 Survivor”! I have always enjoyed the adrenaline of taking
this trail but I also enjoy some of the other trails as well.

Those other trails also include wearing shoes that you don’t mind
getting wet and dirty. We always pack yuck shoes so we can walk through the streams
and wade in the cool pools. It is always fun to watch the newbie hikers as
they attempt to step around the mud and water to try to keep dry. They soon learn that they
should have left their new pair of shoes at home.
I have some advice for new hikers:
- Take a map (even when hiking in the most familiar hiking trails – a map is invaluable)
- Wear appropriate hiking shoes
- Carry drinking water
- Stay on marked trails
