September 7 through October 31, 2024

Come out to McCloud Nature Park during the months of September and October for the 2024 McCloud Prairie Maze and celebrate Hendricks County’s bicentennial!  

Receiving its official designation as an Indiana county on April 1, 1824, Hendricks County is now 200 years old! For more information about Hendricks County’s bicentennial, visit Hendricks200.com.  

We are celebrating the county’s 200^th birthday with our own take on the official bicentennial logo, based on nature. 

A snake slithers in the shape of the two in 200, while the first zero is a tree and the second zero is an owl. All three “numbers” are bathed in sunshine.  

Celebrate Hendricks County this fall with a trip through our bicentennial-themed prairie maze. Be sure to dress for the weather, wear comfortable closed-toe shoes, and bring some water. The correct route through the maze results in a hike of approximately 2/3 of a mile. 

Bring the kids, too, as this maze is appropriate for all ages, and be sure to explore the McCloud Prairie Maze by October 31! 

Admission to McCloud Nature Park and the prairie maze is absolutely FREE, and both are open from dawn to dusk daily. To access the prairie maze, park in the Nature Center parking lot. Maps to the maze are available in the kiosk outside of the Nature Center, as well as in the kiosk at the entrance to the maze.
