Walk the Lynnville Trail
The Lynnville Trail is a 2.1-mile paved asphalt path connecting the Lynnville Community Center, Lynnville Coal Museum, Lynnville Park, and Tecumseh High School.
The 8-foot-wide route includes tree-lined stretches and open views. Warrick Trails lists it for walking, running, and cycling, with parking available at both ends.
This is a connecting community trail, not a verified loop around Lynnville Lake. The full 2.1-mile route is one way; returning along the same path makes an approximately 4.2-mile outing.
Accessibility Information
Warrick Trails describes the route as accessible and lists an asphalt surface and 8-foot width. Its description does not provide detailed grades, cross slopes, or current surface conditions. Visitors with specific mobility needs should check those details before traveling.

Hiking & Nature Walking
For a documented walking route connected to Lynnville Park, use the paved Lynnville Trail. It provides options for a short stroll or a longer out-and-back walk.
The park also has wooded land around its lakes, but the official park information reviewed for this guide does not identify marked natural-surface hiking trails, trailhead locations, or woodland trail mileage.
Looking for a dirt or woodland hike? Ask the park office whether designated hiking paths are open and request a current map. Do not assume that shoreline tracks, service roads, or nearby off-road routes are public hiking trails.
Wildlife Watching
The town lists deer, wild turkey, ducks, geese, beavers, and songbirds around the park's lakes and wooded areas. Watch wildlife from a distance and keep pets leashed within the park.
Walking Courtesy
- Share the paved route with runners and cyclists.
- Keep right and announce yourself before passing.
- Stay alert at road crossings and driveways.
- Carry drinking water and check the weather.
- Follow posted signs and leave no litter.
More to Do at Lynnville Park
Fishing & Boating
The town lists a 275-acre main lake stocked with largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, and catfish. Facilities include a concrete boat ramp, an accessible fishing pier, and a boat dock.
The entire lake is no-wake, with trolling speed only. Swimming is prohibited. Check current fishing-license requirements, harvest limits, and park fishing charges before visiting.
Camping
The town lists full-hookup campsites, water-and-electric sites, and primitive camping. Contact the park for reservations, current rates, site availability, and seasonal services.
Kayaking
Kayak rentals are listed by the town. Renters must be at least 16 years old. Confirm rental availability and current requirements with the office.
Park History
Lynnville Park was established in 1964 when Peabody Coal Company deeded 1,100 acres of former strip-mined land and lakes to the Town of Lynnville for recreation and a water supply.
The town no longer draws water from the main lake, but the area continues to serve as a recreation destination. The paved Lynnville Trail connects the park with other community destinations.
