One of Zionsville’s largest natural areas, with an extensive network of wooded trails along Eagle Creek. Some routes involve steep elevation changes, and attention to trail markers or a map is important.

A paved, multi-use trail popular with walkers, runners, and cyclists. Long, straight stretches support steady movement rather than wandering.

Creekside Nature Park
