The park opened in 2006, five years after the bulk of its land was donated. It is named for Indian Camp Creek, which meets with Big Creek within the park. The parks department puts much focus on maintaining and emphasizing the environmental heritage of the area.[2]

Amenities

The park features about 10 miles of trails, paved and unpaved, for walking, cycling, horseback riding, and inline skating.[4]

Other amenities include an eco-playground, a former silo turned into an observation tower, a nature preserve, camping grounds, a six-acre fishing pond, and an 18-hole disc golf course.[1][5]

The remains of a log cabin and the Cannon family cemetery, both from the 1800s, are preserved in the park.[1][2]

gollark: To clarify, this isn't exactly an inherent feature of them but a deliberate design feature called "proof of work" which is used in most cryptocurrencies. There aren't very many "fair" ways to allocate new coins which also work in a cryptocurrency context.
gollark: Yes, it has several hundred or thousand options and all the different settings for different codecs and also weird video filter syntax.
gollark: Maybe not "convenient" due to the utterly eldritch CLI but you know.
