The Fall Creek Trail travels along another waterway \"\"that feeds the White River, Fall Creek, for ten miles to 1700-acre Fort Benjamin (aka Harrison State Park). Its smooth asphalt winds through an enchanted wonderland of trees and thickly forested lands to get there. The park itself has huge playing fields, cabins, campsites, even a historic hotel for overnight lodging. There are also picnic grounds, a war history museum, a singe-track trail for mountain biking, six hiking trails, an 18-hole golf course, and an interpretive center.<\/p>\n
