The Eagle Creek Reservoir cuts through the center of the neighborhood as part of Eagle Creek Park. At 4,766 acres, the park is one of this neighborhood's big appeals, with a network of hiking trails and calm waters for swimming, boating and fishing. "If someone wants to be closer to nature, Eagle Creek is a good area to live in because otherwise, it's mostly farmland nearby," says Jerry Hanna, a Broker with Highgarden Real Estate. Bordered by I-65 to the north, Eagle Creek is well connected to downtown Indianapolis, just 11 miles away.
Eagle Creek is surrounded by mature trees and lakes creating a scenic atmosphere.

Boating, hiking and golfing at Eagle Creek Park
Eagle Creek Park is a city-wide destination with plenty of recreation on land and water. Thrill-seekers can race down the zipline or climb between treetops at the Go Ape Adventure Park. Local schools send their students to the Earth Discovery Center and Ornithology Center, where they can witness a live raptor feeding or learn from a naturalist. The park has a network of trails ranging from 1 and a quarter miles to nearly 7 miles. The Eagle Creek Golf Club has two public courses set against the park's wetlands and animal habitats.
In the wintertime, locals enjoy cross-country skiing, while in the warmer months, they can swim, canoe, kayak, sail, row or fish on the reservoir. The Indianapolis Rowing Center offers youth, adult and adaptive rowing classes. Personal boats are capped at ten horsepower and 26 feet, lending to relatively calm waters. "I kayak-fish, so I prefer going to Eagle Creek because we don't have to deal with the bigger boats," Hanna says.

I have lived in this area for almost three years and I have really enjoyed my time here. There are plenty of restaurants and shopping centers real close by that you can practically walk to some of them. The area is kept clean and I have never had to worry about my safety.
