Strawtown Koteewi Park is the largest and most scenic park in Hamilton County, Indiana! The park encompasses more than 800 acres, offers eight miles of multi-use trails and stretches along three miles of the White River. The park is comprised of woodlands, wetlands, natural prairie, a 20-acre lake, and is home to a large and diverse wildlife population. Blending into the natural beauty of the park are organized adventures in tree top trails and zip lines, snow sports, archery, and horseback riding. The Taylor Center of Natural History provides tours and artifacts to help you understand the quite long and interesting history of the Strawtown Koteewi area that dates to the end of the last Ice Age. With so much to see and do at SKP, you might consider packing the tent or pulling the camper to White River Campground just across the river, where you can set up base camp and hike or bike into the park via two restored historic bridges.
Explore the woods in a whole new way! Five different treetop courses, from 16’ high to 60’ high, offer a mix of elements and ziplines, challenging ALL skill types. Enjoy adventures lasting from two to three hours. Spend time differently during your visit and all returning visits! Hours vary by season.
White River Canoe Co. offers canoe, kayak and tubing trips on the West Fork of the White River northeast of Indianapolis. Join us for a day on the water!
Join us for a breath taking slide down Koteewi Run, central Indiana's only groomed snow tubing hill. Slide 700 feet down groomed lanes in our custom snow tubes to a soft landing, and then ride our tow line back to the top for another run. No experience necessary, just proper attire for the conditions and a thirst for outdoor fun and adventure. We also hope you'll pause before the plunge to enjoy the view as you look out over the natural beauty of Strawtown Koteewi Park.
Koteewi Trace - Archaeology Adventures
Take a short walk outside the Taylor Center and visit Koteewi Trace, a replicated Native American village site. Guests are encouraged to enter the life-sized structures where they are transported back in history to a time when it is believed that similar architecture once dotted the park landscape. While visiting Koteewi Trace, explore the one-of-a-kind “mock dig” site to learn more about the fascinating science and methodology of archaeology.
