Pokagon State Park

The 1,260-acre park extends along Lake James, featuring hiking trails, beaches, a nature center, and multiple outdoor recreational facilities.

The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed the park's rustic architectural elements during the 1920s, leading to its official opening in 1926.

Native American heritage influenced the park's name, which recognizes the historical presence of indigenous communities in the northeastern Indiana region.

The Potawatomi Inn Resort contains 138 rooms, two restaurants, a library, cabin suites, a gift shop, and an indoor pool for visitors.

The park maintains Indiana's sole refrigerated toboggan run, operating from Thanksgiving through February's final weekend with rentals at twenty dollars hourly.
