Repost of @aliviasindiana visit to Parke County ❤️ “I finally spent a day in Parke County! I’ve always wanted to see the covered bridges. I stayed at Walker Getaway with my family. It’s in Rockville, Indiana and close to covered bridges, shopping, and a state recreation area. This is a collaboration with Walker Getaway. But, there were basically no restrictions on what I could say. So, this video is my honest, unfiltered opinion.”

If you’ve heard of Turkey Run State Park, then you probably know of its iconic suspension bridge over Sugar Creek! 🌿 This amazing 200-foot-long wooden suspension bridge was constructed in 1918.
