RE: Strawtown Koteewi Park, Hamilton County Earn Spot on Reader’s Digest Affordable Mini Family Vacations List

 

In Reader’s Digest, travel author Melissa Klurman, included Hamilton County on her list that offers up “41 Mini Family Vacations That Won’t Break the Bank.” Hamilton County is in good company. The collection includes such exotic destinations as San Juan, Punta Cana, and Maui; as well as U.S. cities and locations that traditionally attract vacationers, such as Cape Cod, Niagara Falls and New Orleans. In her article, Ms. Klurman writes “These great getaways offer big fun on a small budget. We’ve rounded up choices all around the country, so a fabulous family vacation is always right around the corner, even if you only have a day or two.”


In the section of the article touting Hamilton County, Strawtown Koteewi Park is specifically singled out for its affordable, yet adventure-filled offerings – “Spend time in the great (free) outdoors at Strawtown Koteewi Park, which features a canoe launch on the White River for boating and fishing, nature trails for hiking or cycling, equestrian trails, an archery center, and a treetop course.” Along with the county’s largest park, other notable Hamilton County destinations are recommended, including The Nickel Plate Express and Conner Prairie.
