My pleasure, Renee! I always love to hear that I’ve inspired an adventure! Keep watching: I have many more unique locations, where I’ve been filming this spring. Just a matter of getting them all edited. 🙂

Salute to you my friend, the best and most interesting historical information 👍

Bring water, consider the longer, less steep trail back. 🙂

Peaceful

It’s a shame they haven’t added concrete or blacktop, to make it more accessible.

With the price of gas it’s time to reinvigorate the ole trolley. 😃. I love these peaceful videos.

Found it, thanks. I thought it was a new release.

No worries! I’ve done numerous New Albany segments, but not one big feature

My childhood stomping grounds.. never knew the story behind the area… just loved playing in the woods.

A friend of mine stumbled across the park and told me about it! It’s very easy to miss, if you’re focused on the road. As I researched the story, I found that a co-workers husband grew up in the area, and was part of the group that built the trail, bridges, and information boards along the path. It’s certainly a hidden history that most people, especially I, wouldn’t know about! 🙂

Legend has it that Al Capone had a home in Silver Hills.

Had not heard that one. I heard he’d had a place along Silver Creek, but I never found where it was.

It would have been great to visit there back in the day!

I was really surprised at how muddy and slick it was by the creek. Rest of the trail was dry as a bone. Those handrails were definitely there for a reason!

Very interesting. Didn’t know that was there.

I didn’t either, and thought New Albany stopped at Scribner Drive, by the library! A good friend of mine is a wildlife photographer, and sent me pictures, encouraging a visit.

Damn never knew about the trolley line down the the road and on Corydon Pike is sycamore Island it used to be in the thirties in twenties amusement park my mother talks about how her mom would get on train to go there .

There used to be small resort parks all over this area. I toured an abandoned one at Galena (Jersey Park), there’s still a sign for one on Paoli Pike in the Knobs, everyone knows about Rose Island at Charlestown. Sycamore Island is still there, and they have a small pay-to-fish lake and a place to buy fishing and hunting supplies. I’d heard that a woman did a book about all of them, but I don’t remember the title.

Who owns this? according to the county its listed as private property.

It’s my understanding that’s it’s owned and maintained by the Silver Hills Historical Society
