Burr Oak Bend, is comprised of land parcels that are adjacent to and near an existing canoe landing (Riverwood Canoe Landing) the park department currently owns and maintains. HCPR’s goal to provide passive recreation to Hamilton County residents, central to its mission, will be achieved by the installation of strategically placed, multi-use trails on the newly acquired land, serviced by a minimum of access points that accommodate a limited number of users’ vehicles. 

Currently this park is undeveloped and the master plan is in process of being created. If you have questions, please call our Administrative Office at 317-770-4400.
