Otter Creek Recreation Area


Trip up to Otter Creek Recreation Area. We headed out with a plan to meet Dad and Mom in Cookville to start our trip North for the family get-together. The gathering was to be in Indiana at Turkey Run State Park. So after meeting up with them we headed North taking back roads. We didn't get far before we had to find a place to eat lunch. Turned out to be an out of business resturant in the drive way. Our next scheduled stop was the Cars of Yesteryear in Elizabethtown KY. This was an amazing collection of antique cars and trucks and a free tour to boot. It just so happened that a major storm came through while we were in the museum so that worked out well for us.

We arrived just before dinner at Otter Creek and got set up in camp. We had a spaghetti dinner and then walked around the campground before dark. It was too hot to have a campfire.

The next morning we got up, had breakfast, and then hit the trail. We hiked the 3 VOT trail down to Otter Creek. It was a great trail through old growth forest. It was pretty flat and then took a steeper downhill path to the creek which was very muddy from the previous storms. After lunch, we packed up and headed North. Spring Mill State Park next.
