Home is where the hammock is.

Whether you want to enjoy nature while staying in the city or venture into the deep woods, we have the right place for you. Remember to be kind to mother nature: take only photos and leave only footprints.















WHITE RIVER STATE PARK CANAL

On the northern end of the canal around the fountain, you’ll find grassy areas with medium sized trees, perfect for hammock chilling. On a nice day, you can count on endless people-watching potential in this urban area.

















WHITE RIVER STATE PARK

At this park on the south end of the canal, you can hang your hammock among public art displays. Go out on a night when a concert is playing at the Farm Bureau Insurance Lawn and you’ll be able to hear the music.













HIGHLAND PARK

On the East side of downtown you’ll find Highland Park, a quiet oasis of green in an urban landscape. It’s one of the highest points in Indy, giving you a spectacular view of the city skyline.















BROAD RIPPLE PARK

If you get bored in your hammock, check out one of the many other features of Broad Ripple Park: playgrounds, picnic shelters, baseball diamonds, tennis courts, a fitness trail, a seasonal pool and a dog park.











MAROTT PARK

This park in Broad Ripple is right off the Monon Trail. Hang out near the bubbling William’s Creek, a quaint offshoot of the white river.



















INDIANAPOLIS MUSEUM OF ART AT NEWFIELDS

The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art and Nature Park at Newfields (better known as 100 Acres) is free to enter and open daily. In 100 acres of park, there are tons of good hammock spots. You might set up along the walking trails, near the lake or by the famous Funky Bones sculpture.



















EAGLE CREEK PARK

3,900 acres of wooded terrain and 1,300 acres of water makes Eagle Creek one of the nation’s 10 largest city parks. Besides hammocking, there is boundless possibility for all sorts of outdoor activities here: hiking, canoeing, fishing and more.



















TURKEY RUN STATE PARK

This park is over an hour west of downtown Indy, but it’s worth the drive to marvel at the area’s beautiful, natural geologic wonders. Explore deep, sandstone ravines, walk along stands of aged forests, and enjoy the scenic views along Sugar Creek.



















MORGAN-MONROE STATE FOREST

An hour drive south of Downtown will get you to this massive 24,000 acre expanse of woodland, an ideal place for escaping the city noise. If you want to turn your hammock trip into a camping adventure, bring a tent and register to camp overnight, or rent one of the log cabins.















FORT HARRISON STATE PARK

This slice of nature in the city of Lawrence is 1,700 acres, a good medium size to find some secluded spots. (Don’t forget about this spot when winter rolls around: it has one of the biggest sledding hills in the area!)
