In recent years, we have focused attention on campground and cabin improvements, filling full-time and seasonal staff positions, and continuing a tradition of excellence in interpretation and in hospitality at Indiana State Park inns. We have a new 5-year plan, based on public responses to our Centennial Survey (more than 10,000 responses) and input from staff. It focuses on facilities and trails, improving efforts to manage our natural resources and remove invasive species, investing in technology, looking at ways to be more environmentally responsible, and training and support for park staff.

  • Pokagon State Park Guide
    KETTLES AND KAMES The distinctive landscape of Indiana’s Pokagon State Park is a legacy of the most recent Ice Age. Although the Pleistocene Epoch began about 2.6 million years ago, today one can see only the effects of the most recent continental glacier from the Wisconsin age. The irregularly shaped hills, bogs, and lakes are underlain by an assortment of materials that melted from a rugged disintegrating ice sheet a mere 14,000 years ago. Kettle lakes Lake Lonidaw is one of the kettle lakes that formed as the Wisconsin-age glacier retreated. Large blocks of ice broke free from the glacier and were buried under insulating debris. The ice slowly melted, leaving behind a water-filled depression. Morainal landscape The steeply rolling hills, bogs, and interconnected lakes of the park bear witness to the massive ice sheets that advanced over and then melted from this part of the Midwest. & Water Survey. Glacial erratics This former Canadian resident arrived in one of the glacial advances into central Indiana. Many of these trans- ported rocks and boulders, known as “glacial erratics,” are in evidence throughout the park. Lake James THE GEOLOGIC STORY The Northern Moraine and Lake Region, in which Pokagon State Park is located, is noted of Pokagon State Park for its beautiful scenery and lakes — a land- scape created by glaciers. The third largest natural lake in Indiana, Lake James covers 1,140 acres and is 88 feet deep. It is one of the many kettle lakes in the region and was formed by the slow melting of a buried ice block.

  • Environmental Education Resource Directory
    EE Resource Directory Introduction The Environmental Education Association of Indiana has compiled this directory to assist educators in selecting and accessing resources for environmental education in the classroom. Those who work with adults and non-formal youth groups, such as scouts and 4-H, may also find these resources useful in planning activities for meetings, workshops, camp, and other occasions. The directory is organized into two main sections, those organizations that serve the entire state and those that serve a limited area, such as a county or region. Within the two main sections, you will find public agencies, including federal, state, county, and city departments, and private organizations, such as soil and water conservation districts, conservation organizations, and individuals who are available to share music, stories, or songs. If you have corrections or additions to this list, please contact Cathy Meyer at Monroe County Parks and Recreation, 119 West Seventh Street, Bloomington, IN 47404, 812- 349-2805, How to Get the Most From These Resources The organizations and people listed here are experts who are willing to share a vast array of knowledge and materials with you. There are a few ways to make the most of your contacts with them. These contacts are intended primarily for use by adults, not for student research projects. Before contacting anyone, be clear about your educational objectives. Many of the programs are based on state science standards to help you in meeting educational requirements. Will your objectives best be met with classroom activities, activities using the school grounds, or visits to special sites away from school? Do you need activity ideas, supplementary videos, material or equipment to borrow, or a speaker? What level of understanding should students have after the program? What will they know beforehand and what will you do to follow-up? Many agencies offer preliminary training for teachers using their programs or they may have pre-visit or follow-up activities for you to use.
