Potawatomi State Park Conditions

Conditions as of Wednesday, February 8, 2012:

Trails

There is not much snow left on the ground at Potawatomi.

Nature

With the leaves off the trees, there are good views of wildlife and scenery.

Fishing and Boating

A couple of ice shanties remain on Sawyer Harbor, but most have been moved very close to shore. Some perch and whitefish were caught over the past few days.

Camping

Four campsites are plowed throughout the winter. Others are available on a walk-in basis. The well at the campground shelter remains open year-round. Water is turned off at the shower building, fish cleaning station, and the dump station for the season.

Sites may be reserved for dates up to 11 months in advance.
