Pokagon State Park

Pokagon State Park is located in northeastern Indiana close to the city of Angola. The 1,203 acre (4.9 km²) park has a variety of activities for visitors to take part in all four seasons of the year.

The Wisconsin Glacier, the last of the Ice Age’s four glaciers that covered Indiana, is responsible for the terrain found in Pokagon. Glaciation’s influence can be seen in the glacial erratics that are found in the park.

The park’s land consists of Lake James and Snow Lake to the west and south. Various wetlands can be seen throughout the park. The Potawatomi Nature Preserve makes up a large portion of the east side of the park. Over ten miles of hiking trails wind through the park.

The toboggan run is a popular destination during the winter. Visitors can reach speeds of nearly 40 miles an hour (60 km/h) on the quarter mile (400 m) long track.
