Hiking Club
Explore the many hiking opportunities within the Elkhart County Parks. Meet new people and hike with the group every third Tuesday of the month at 6pm. In July we meet at Abshire Park to hike on the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail. The Trail is packed gravel with some elevation change. The hike will be a little over two miles in length. Check out the Elkhart County Parks Hiking Club Facebook Page for reminders and announcements. See you at the hike!

Creatures of the Night: Bats
As night falls, the places we spend time outdoors can feel like a very different place. Familiar trails melt into shadows, and the daytime soundscape is replaced with things that go bump in the night as nocturnal creatures come out to play. Join the Elkhart County Parks as we lift night’s veil to reveal the hidden lives of these creatures of the night, from spiders weaving webs to bats on the wing.
In July โ Get ready to go a little batty! Join us for an exciting nighttime adventure where we search for bats in the wild and learn all about the amazing species that live right here in our area. Weโll talk about how bats hunt, where they sleep, and why theyโre total eco-heroesโhelping control bugs and keep nature in balance. Perfect for curious explorers who love animals, the outdoors, and a little after-dark fun! Parking is limited, so please carpool as you are able. We will meet at Goshen Dam Pond Parking Lot (corner of Westwood Rd & Fair Oaks Dr., Goshen)
