Ouabache State Park

"Ouabache" is the French version of "Wabash", but it's more than a name - it's a nod to the deep roots between the early settlers, the region, and the State River.

There is a ranch of the iconic American Bison in this park. You can watch them eye to eye at close range.

We'll hike 6 miles on an easy to moderate trail.
Meet by the fire tower. (40.7231, -85.1070) (see directions)
