The first ILADD Hiking Club hike of 2025 is at Starkey Nature Park in Zionsville, Indiana. We will hike for approximately two hours or about two to three miles. We will meet at the Sugarbush Drive Parking Area (667 Sugarbush Drive, Zionsville). Our annual winter hike at Starkey Nature Park has always been fun, so we hope you will join us! A map of Starkey Nature Park is available on the Town of Zionsville website (www.zionsville-in.gov)

ILADD Hiking Club is for adults with developmental/intellectual disabilities who can walk at least 2-3 miles, up and down hills, on uneven ground, on unpaved trails. All hikers should bring their own water bottle. It is recommended that everyone bring a change of shoes and socks for after the hike because it may get muddy if it rains or snows within a day or two prior to the hike.  Since it is mid-January, be prepared for cold weather and dress accordingly. It is too early for an extended weather forecast, although the average mid-January high temperature in Indiana is around 37 degrees. If we need to postpone the hike due to excessive rain, snow, or severe cold weather, we will email or call you two hours or more before the hike is set to commence.

REGISTRATION REQUIRED: The hike will be limited to the first 20 registrants. It is very important that you let us know you will be participating, so we can notify you if we need to change our plans due to bad weather or other circumstances. Register by emailing us at teasterday@iladdinc.org of your intent to go on the hike.
