Cobus Creek

Cobus Creek is one of the few cold water trout streams in Indiana. The cold water, wooded banks and gravel bottom is ideal for supporting trout. Unfortunately the stream was diverted in the past reducing it’s quality. A stream restoration project is currently underway to help improve trout habitat.

Sensory Garden

The Sensory Garden is being designed for everyone who wishes to enhance the average garden experience by stimulating their senses. From the first blooms in early spring through the last scent of fragrant herbs in the autumn air, the Sensory Garden will be continually graced with the sweet scents, sights, sounds, tastes and textures of nature.
