Confirmed from Bluhm County Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Dog-friendly park featuring picnic tables and a playground with swings.

A peaceful park to spend time at! There is a newer playground and restrooms. The dog run area is more than enough space for many dogs to run around. The walking trail runs through a wooded area, marshy area, and prairie that fills with wildflowers.

A beautiful tucked away park in LaPorte County with plenty of trails for hiking, bikes, and horses. The trails are long and will make for an enjoyable hike. Swings, a gazebo for parties, volleyball net, and plenty of other amenities to enjoy a nice sunny day.
Went here to participate in a Star Wars themed event. Wagon rides, smores at a campfire, several games for kids, volleyball, corn hole, night walk on trail to discover hidden Star Wars characters, and a really good playground too. The bathrooms are really nice, clean and has music playing. The kids had a blast!
