Spring Mill State Park


After leaving Otter Creek we headed straight to Spring Mill State Park. We set up camp and then headed back to Salem to get Dad a new battery for the camper. While in Salem we walked the town square and had an icecream at the bakery. From there we drove out to Becks Mill which was closed but still interesting to see. We drove back to the campground and after dinner we hiked around the campground. 

The next morning we attempted a hike around the lake, but was stopped by rain. Luckily we were at the nature center and spent time being entertained by a dancing turtle. We headed back to the the campground, got rain gear and then headed back to complete our hike. We got soaked!. From there we toured the Village which was very impressive. They had a three story mill and a dozen buildings open to tour. It took up our afternoon. We stopped to see Donaldson Cave, but it was a long way down and it was already hot. We did stop at the Twin caves to check them out. Water flows from one cave into the other, but the water was cold and the cold air felt great! They were not doing tours at that time due to Covid.

The next morning Lora and I hiked the bike trail near the campground and got to see a couple of deer. We also, while tring to find a waterfall, ended up back at the lake. When we got back we packed up and headed out for Brown County State Park.
