Potato Creek State Park has
a large man made lake, great for fishing, boating and swimming, if
the weather allows. The park has canoes, rowboats, and paddleboats
for rent, along with bicycles that can be used on the 3 ½ mile
dedicated bike trail, or on the roads around the park.
This park is the second most
popular park in Indiana, so if you are planning on camping for the
weekend please make your reservations as soon as possible.
Reservations can be made on-line or by telephone. For reservations
call 1-866-6campIN or go to www.camp.IN.gov. Some of us have
already made reservations and will be staying in the "E" section of
the campground. This section is towards the back of the campgrounds
and we will be having other activities there.
Please make a note in the log if
you plan on attending so that we can plan accordingly. The shelter
area has grills, and we will supply the charcoal. Please bring a
dish to share as well as your own main course and beverages. We
will be having a raffle, and will have door prize drawings before
we leave. If each team brings an item for the drawing it will add
to the fun. As is customary, after the picnic, you will be able to
log this as an event. If you have FRS or GMRS radios bring them
along.
