We thought we would allocate a few minutes looking at the Grist Mill at Bonneyville.The grounds,the incredible beauty of the flower garden and the stream that powers the mill.The Grist Mill, itself, is operational and demonstrates the engineering brilliance from almost two hundred years ago.And, it's mostly original. Live demo of grinding grain, corn, wheat and rye.Fascinating!Great for kids and adults with curiosity.We purchased fresh ground flour and used it to bake bread.Our few minutes turned into an hour.Time well spent.Give them your support with a little donation.M

The grist mill was the highlight of this park. They still use it to grind corn and wheat to make flour and corn meal. You can purchase these items at the mill. We have already used some of the grits we both there and they were excellent

For those visitors to our area, this is an awesome place for hiking, fishing, picnicking, frolicking in the outside air.

My family and I randomly searched for a place to hike within a few hours of our home when we stumbled across this park. The park is well taken care of and you are able to get quite the history lesson at the same time. It was a little muddy when we visited there so some of the trails were a bit too wet to hike. Regardless, it was still a great experience walking along the river and learning about the mill. Kudos to the Elkhart County Parks Department for maintaining this beautiful park so well!

We accidently stumbled on this wonderful little Elkhart County Park while visiting nearby Shipshewana Flea Market. Not hard to find, it is a short drive to the park once you turn off of Hwy SR 120, and head down CR131. Its a park that consists of the oldest continually operating grist Mill in Indiana since being built in the 1830's. A fork of the Little Elkhart River runs through the park and helps to power the Mill, so that grain can still be ground there today. The mill grinds corn,wheat, rye, and buckwheat and a volunteer will happily show you how it is done and tell you the specifics of the Mills history.Close by are over five miles of hiking trails in a natural woody setting. There is also fishing in the Little Elkhart River where you just might catch yourself a small-mouthed Bass or stocked Trout. In the winter the Park offers cross-country skiing as well as 2 sledding hills. Picnic tables can be found also throughout the Park, plus 5 reservable shelters for larger groups. Each shelter has tables, grills, water and restroom accommodations.Operating hours for the Mill are Wednesday through Sunday from May Through October. Hours 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.Park hours vary by season. Call ahead to confirm. or visit www.elkhartcountyparks.org A great little gem hidden away and a trip back into a time when the pace was much slower.

We visited the park and had a lot of fun touring the mill. When we were in the mill the people were very knowledgeable about it and even turned it on so we could see how everything worked. Our kids were amazed to see how it worked and to see how things used to be built. There are some great trails for exploring and an awesome mountain bike trail that my two older kids and I went on. The head of the mountain bike trail is located at the Briar Patch Shelter.

We made a nice stop at the Mill while visiting the area. The person at the Mill was very friendly and even turned it on for our group as he explained the process. And the area garden is lovely. Only drawback for me was that indoor allergies kicked in (it is musty in there), and I had to step outside.
