Motorcycle riders can experience the beauty of Indiana state park properties and contribute to their upkeep on a June 29 charity ride through three locations.
Three ride routes are available with different stops and activities on each route. All of them begin with breakfast at Hardy Lake from 7 to 10 a.m.
From there, riders have a choice. Route 1 will take them to Charlestown State Park, where they can get their photo taken at Rose Island, then to Spring Mill State Park for a tour and lunch provided by the Friends of Spring Mill.
Route 2 will take them to Charlestown State Park and then Clifty Falls State Park, where riders can enjoy lunch and views of waterfalls.
Route 3 will take them to Versailles State Park to participate in a poker run, then to Clifty Falls State Park.
Ride length varies depending on the route.
Cost is $40 per person and $36 per passenger.
The charity ride is a collaboration between Indiana State Parks, the Friends of Hardy Lake, the Friends of Versailles State Park, the Friends of Spring Mill State Park and the Friends of Charlestown State Park.
