Tori Jane is a storm chaser, writer, photographer, and the village idiot - in that order. When she's not out and about dancing with the meanest storms on planet Earth for funsies she can be found wandering, shooting landscapes, writing, editing photos, and otherwise up to no good. Legend has it that she can also be occasionally spotted typing up short bios in the third person, but those rumors are unsubstantiated.
The Trevlac Bluffs Nature Preserve is an absolutely beautiful little slice of paradise that, like many nature preserves in the Hoosier State, just doesn’t get the love it deserves. This, however, can be beneficial: this means that those of us who prefer peace, quiet, and little disturbance can have it all to ourselves if we time it right. Trevlac Bluffs is home to two hiking trails, both of which are pretty easy and family-friendly. Take, for example, the Bottomland Loop Trail. It’s just over one mile long and easy; it might just be the best hike near Helmsburg Indiana for those who live locally!
Trevlac Bluffs Nature Preserve is a wonderful, quiet 260 acres in Brown County perfect for anything from a quick hike to a day-long adventure.
The woods here serve a very special, delicate purpose: it's one of three places in the Midwest that's absolutely critical for certain species of migratory songbirds.

As a result, the hike is a blast, and you just never know what kinds of wildlife (especially of the avian variety) that you'll encounter.
Since this trail is an easy one, it makes for an excellent, family-friendly outing. Do keep in mind, though, that there is very limited parking - so carpooling is essential.
...best of all, you'll probably have it all to yourself. Unless, of course, you bring the kids (who will love this one).
