Quabache Flatwoods Nature Preserve

Quabache Flatwoods Nature Preserve is a 38-acre state-managed preserve in Indiana, about 1.7 miles from the small community of Vera Cruz. It is managed by the state park and recreation agency as a nature preserve, making it a compact destination for a short visit rather than a full day's outing. September tends to be the most comfortable time to go, with typical highs around 76°F and lows near 54°F and fewer wet days than most of the year, according to averages from a nearby weather station at Bluffton. May is another mild option, typically reaching about 71°F in the afternoon. For time on the water close by, Blue Creek offers canoeing about 6.5 miles away.
