Mississinewa Lake Campground

The Great Outdoors

Spend some time outdoors and on the water at Seven Pillar Nature Preserve. The preserve is situated on the south side of the Mississinewa River and is named for the 25-foot limestone pillars in the park. These breathtaking formations were created several centuries ago as wind and water eroded the limestone. The erosion resulted in rounded buttresses and alcoves carved into the river’s northern bluff. For hiking opportunities, the popular Frances Slocum Trail passes along the top of these formations. Though views from the trail are nice, the best way to absorb the splendor of the pillars is from the south bank of the Mississinewa River.Another place to visit when you book an RV in Miami County is Charley Creek Gardens. The beautifully landscaped garden features a nature walk and horticultural center.

Pick up a walking tour brochure, and take a self-guided tour down the half-mile hiking trail. If you prefer a guided tour, these are available for a small fee and include a brief history of the garden and a basic overview of plants, foliage, and projects within the six-acre area.
