Hoosier Prairie State Nature Preserve protects a rare remnant of prairie, wetland and oak savanna near Griffith.
Short trails provide a way to explore native habitats within the heavily developed landscape of northwestern Indiana.
The photograph shows the preserve’s vegetation during an earlier visit. Choose a route using current state and National Park Service visitor information; the initial gravel path and the natural-surfaced loops have different accessibility. Stay on designated trails, leave plants undisturbed and check current notices before travelling. Seasonal conditions affect flowers, footing and wildlife observations, so plan for the landscape you will encounter on the day.
