Outdoor Recreation

Vigo County is an outdoor lover’s paradise with the most parks per capita in the state. Explore the Wabashiki Fish and Wildlife Area, a haven for birdwatching, hiking, and peaceful paddling along scenic waterways. Enjoy hiking at Griffin Bike Park, kayaking at Fowler Park, or fishing in serene lakes. Hawthorn Park provides a tranquil escape, while Deming Park offers some of the best family-friendly amenities in the area. With two stellar public golf courses, three disc golf courses, a community pool, and new splash pads, our city and county parks provide endless opportunities for outdoor fun.
