Kokomo on The Go
Hey Kokomo! It’s easy to be overwhelmed with all of the information flying around and things changing almost by the hour at times. One great way to focus on self-care is to make sure you are moving your body and getting some exercise! Whether you love high impact running workouts or low impact walks in the fresh air, our city has some great options that you can enjoy while safely socially distancing and following city and county guidelines.
Getting exercise isn’t only good for your physical health it’s great for your mental health as well. Wondering where to start? Think you’ve been everywhere in Kokomo? You may be surprised by our list. Check out some of our favorite spots to enjoy Kokomo:
"Peshewa" Nature Trail at the Reservoir Park
Why we love it:
It’s a short drive out to the eastern edge of Kokomo. The park is located off of 500 East and 100 North.
It features a 1.3-mile hiking trail in Kokomo's Reservoir Park.
It feels like you’ve taken a day trip to Brown County walking on the unpaved trail, but in reality, you’re barely halfway out to the Howard County fairgrounds.
Jackson Morrow Walk path
Why we love it:
It’s an easy circular paved path that takes you on a 1.3-mile loop.
It’s a pretty path that winds through wooded and flat parts of Jackson Morrow Park.
Located at 4200 S. Park Road on the south side of the city, the trail feels far away while being conveniently located. (And REALLY close to a Kokomo Post staff favorite, Cone Palace😉.)
Industrial Heritage Trail
Why we love it:
It’s rich in Kokomo’s industrial history, there are so many fascinating points along this smooth, paved trail.
It boasts longer mileage than our other picks, making it a great choice for runners and cyclists alike.
The Industrial Heritage Trail is 5.88 miles long. It runs south just past Lincoln Road and north through Downtown Kokomo and connects to the Nickel Plate Trail. It intersects the Wildcat Creek Walk of Excellence just south of Superior Street.
These are just three of our Kokomo favorites. Where you are getting those steps in Kokomo? Is your favorite place missing from our list? Let us know in the comments below!
