The Top Choices Feature a Toboggan Track and One of the Highest Points in the State.
Pokagon State Park is a clear first choice for winter fun in Indiana State Parks. Located near Angola in the northeastern part of the state, it borders on Lake James and Snow Lake, which offer abundant recreational opportunities. Park features a quarter-mile toboggan track, which operates weekends from Thanksgiving through February. Winter activities also include camping, ice fishing, and cross-country skiing. The Potawatomi Inn offers both cabins and hotel-style rooms.
Brown County State Park is the largest state park in Indiana, and includes nearly 20 miles of roads, with numerous scenic vistas. Large campgrounds, hiking trails, and extensive horse riding facilities make the park popular on a year-round basis. The park includes Weed Patch Hill, one of the highest points in the state, at 1,058 feet in elevation. The rustic Abe Martin Lodge, located in the park, offers rooms and 20 housekeeping cabins year round. For reservations and/or more information, call 812-988-4418.
