Explore Outside

Take a stroll through one of Upland's parks, hike the Seven Bridges Trail, or explore the Arboretum trails to get outside and enjoy God's creation. Spend a day or weekend with friends at nature areas like the Mississinewa Reservoir, which offers opportunities for boating, fishing, and hiking.
