DEPAUW NATURE PARK Between 1917 and 1977, the DePauw Nature Park was the site of a limestone quarry, where rock was blasted from the quarry walls, crushed into limestone aggregate and then transported off-site by rail. The 520-acre park is open year-round and features a Welcome and Activities Center, the Manning Environmental Field Station, a large amphitheater and more than a dozen walking and biking trails. The trails take visitors through the bottom of the quarry and around its high wall, through the surrounding woodlands, along what once were the quarry’s rail line and the banks of Big Walnut Creek.
