Ouabache State Park, State park with bison exhibit in Wells County, United States.
The 1,104-acre park features hiking trails, a swimming beach, Kunkel Lake for fishing, tennis courts, basketball courts, and camping facilities along the Wabash River.
The land transformed from Wells County State Forest and Game Preserve in the 1930s to Ouabache State Recreation Area in 1962, gaining full state park status in 1983.
The name Ouabache derives from Miami Indian language, referring to the Wabash River's characteristic white stones and shining water appearance.
Visitors access multiple trails ranging from a 1-mile loop around the wildlife exhibit to a 6-mile path circling the entire property through pine plantations.
The park maintains a 20-acre natural setting where American bison roam freely, offering visitors direct observation of these native North American mammals.
