Hemlock at Turkey Run State Park


A view of Sunset Point with a branch of hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) in the foreground. The evergreen trees visible in the background are also hemlock.  The hemlock stands at Turkey Run are a remnant of the forests that covered Indiana soon after the glaciers receded thousands of years ago.
