Eagle Creek Park

I had an incredible experience at Eagle Creek Park! The walkable and runnable trails allowed me to immerse myself in nature while getting some exercise. There were numerous spots for breathtaking views and photography, making it a perfect destination for outdoor enthusiasts and photographers alike. Being surrounded by the beauty of nature at this park is rejuvenating. Get a yearly park pass—it’s worth the investment. Highly recommended.

A very beautiful getaway in Indianapolis. I loved seeing eagles, deer, and goldfinches on my weekend runs quite a few years back. For that reason I visit on occasion to get some photos in. Excellent views, plenty of miles to run, and overall a very clean park.

What an absolutely amazing Park. It's always well taken care of the layout of the hiking trails are very nice and the map is amazing we have been to several parks we're hiking is extremely hard because the map is not laid out right and you can get lost easily. Eagle Creek is not one of those parks I highly recommend if you get a chance to come here especially if you're a photographer the wildlife is amazing the bird sanctuary is beautiful.

We are so lucky to have this beautiful park full of great hiking, birds (eagles, owls, pileated woodpeckers….), and spectacular views. Stop by for a picnic or a hike if you are passing through.

Far exceeded my expectations! In town for a conference & had some extra time. Started on the red loop (6 miles). Stopped at the marina & saw they had kayaks to rent, so did that for 2 hours. Saw a ton of birds & turtles. Finished with the rest of the red loop. Marina has a good selection of drinks & snacks. Water faucets scattered throughout the park. Highly recommend!

This is one of me and my wife's favorite places to go to unwind and tune into the nature. We love the bird sanctuary and we go fishing at the marina all the time. Must see if your in indy.

A gorgeous place to enjoy some kayaking or paddle boarding! We love all the hikes and all the views. A quite place in a busy city with so much to see. We go there almost weekly and still have so much to explore!

This park is one of Indy's best gems. Miles of wooded, dirt paths wind you through pines and other new and old-growth trees. I love that they pepper benches through at beautiful overlooks around the trail that goes around the Ornithology Center. There are miles of marked trails, though they can be a little confusing sometimes. You can always just make your way back to the water. There are also kayak rentals and a launch point. It's a beautiful place.

Great place for walking, and bird watching. We got to see a baby bald eagle.

This park is one of mine and my families' favorite places to hike. 🩷 Next weekend, we're going to traverse onto the lake and maybe do some fishing. The trails are beautiful and ongoing, I could stay out there for hours. It's a perfect place to work on some photography. 📸

A great place to hike! Visited the place around 5:30 late in the evening and it was lovely! The weather was lovely and we did the blue trail which was around 3.25 miles and it covered the Lilly pond and one other which where lovely!

One should definitely plan a picnic or sorts and the place has great infrastructure for the same as well! Must visit if in the area.

Entrance: For people in and around the place it’s $5 and if there is someone not from the nearby county it’s $6. Usually North gate is the place you end up at if you coming from the state highway. Do get a map at the gate for better navigation

Trails: As I explored it on foot, we understood that there were three trails for hiking. The longest was around 5 miles (blue trail); followed by red trail around 3.25 miles ans the smallest being green of approx 2 miles There is a great trail for biking as well.

I only came for a night trail run. It was fun and beautiful! My time was off because I stopped to take in the views. My only regret is not being able to see it during daylight!

I love Eagle Creek. What can I say? There are deer, birds, tons of options for trails, great views of the water. There aren't many strenuous hikes but, if you choose carefully, you can find a trail that isn't much-used and you won't pass another person. Great place for dogs on leashes, but be warned that the large deer population means ticks are rampant-- check yourself and your furry friends if you visit!

Great experience. Staff were very helpful and friendly

Hands down #1 the best place to hike in all of Indiana🏆. It not only offers more hiking trails than any other place in the state it also gives places to hike, bike, kayak and camp. Lily Lake is magical in the fall not to mention endless spots for incredible views. :) Everytime I go back I discover something new.

Grew up in Indy going to this park. Love it all! Went to Lilly pond and the bird sanctuary this time. So peaceful and beautiful. Had a wonderful time.

I am surprised I had not been to this park until recently. It seems peace and natural beauty can be found in central Indiana, assuming you do not mind the occasional plane engine or jet noise fading in and out overhead. It is dog friendly, has restrooms readily available, and the cleanliness stands out the most. Unfortunately, this park does not allow bikes on trails. For those who ride MTB, we are stuck with either driving to Brown County Park or using the local Town Run Trail Park for our fix.

The most complete park in Indy that I have visited so far. It has areas for kayaking and a beach for swimming. It has playground areas for the little ones, plus zipline and adventure areas for the big ones, lol. We were gratefully surprised that we could buy ice cream too! It has several trails with different distances and difficulties. All around the park, you could find several sites with barbecue areas. The parking lots are not a problem at all; they are everywhere. I would say that Eagle Creek Park has all the activities you would like and many more! Of course, my favorite part is that it is pet-friendly! So, with the 5 dollars fee, we could spend the whole afternoon with our fur baby enjoying the nature ♡

I'm a wedding photographer in Indiana and frequently do engagement sessions at Eagle Creek Park. No matter the season or weather, it is ALWAYS perfect for photos! There are so many gorgeous trails with large trees and bodies of water. Such a beautiful place for any pictures!

Very nice park. We went for an afternoon. It has many pretty views of the water and things to do.
