Turkey Run State Park

Turkey Run State Park is located in Park County near Marshall, Indiana.  Turkey Run became Indiana's 2nd State Park when the first parcel of land was purchased in 1916.The origin of the name "Turkey Run" is unknown but the most accepted theory is that wild turkeys would congregate in the gorges (or "runs") for warmth where early settlers in the area would trap them in the dead end gorges and easily hunt them.
