Allens Creek Fossil Beds Hike

02:00 pm to 05:00 pm
Allens Creek State Recreation Area
http://www.tinyurl.com/monroelake

Free, but limited to 20 people. Registration required by November 7. To register, email Jill Vance at [email protected] with your name, phone number, and the number of people in your group.

Program Location: Meet in the parking lot at Allens Creek SRA (directions available when you register)

The limestone shoreline around the point at Allen’s Creek is so dense with fossils that it’s hard to find “plain” rock! The fossil beds are filled with crinoids and corals, interspersed with geodes – remnants of the shallow sea that once covered Indiana.

On our hike to and from the fossil beds, we’ll explore the broader geological story told by the rock layers exposed in the Monroe Lake area. Round-trip hike distance is about 4 miles over moderate terrain and takes roughly 3 hours.

Cost: Free
