Join us for a relaxed hike at Beall Woods State Park, the perfect opportunity to enjoy some peace and quiet in one of the Midwest’s last old-growth forests. You'll discover large trees over 30" in diameter. This hike is perfect for beginners and seasonal hikers. If you’re feeling the need to escape for a few hours, this tranquil stretch of towering oaks and beech trees is exactly what you’re looking for. Expect calm spring woods, gentle terrain, and some of the most impressive trees in Illinois.

This event is hosted by Central Indiana Grotto. If you wish to attend with your fellow Co-op crew, RSVP here and meet us at the event.

We're trying new venue for night hikes! Panther Creek has a unique trail system made of ridge walks, suspension bridges, and some open fields. This family-friendly walk under the moonlit sky is perfect for beginners.

Join us for a short, relaxed float down the Wabash River. We'll start at the June Barrett Public Access Site on Church Street in New Harmony, IN and paddle (or float) 5 miles downstream to Harmonie State Park. This float will take approximately 2~4 hours.

Join the Co-op on a nature walk on the Jane Blaffer & Kenneth Dale Owen Heritage Trails during New Harmony's Firefly Festival.

Mitchell, Indiana boasts two of Indiana's best parks. Sandstone canyons, bluffs, and deep ravines along the Sugar Creek make Turkey Run and Shades State park a winning combination this weekend. We'll camp two nights at nearby Racoon SRA, just 30 minutes from each park.

Details TBD. This will be our 'big trip' for 2026. We haven't finalized the dates, but we know it will be sometime in this span of 8 days, to coincide with EVSC and Owensboro School's fall breaks.
