This in turn signals the annual rush of Hoosier motorists to see the spectacle of autumn with a visit to this state park. The restaurants in Nashville fill up, the inns are at capacity, and visitors are treated to the easy life by experts in Hoosier hospitality. But, the influx of visitors carries government expense in addition to economic activity. Are counties that host state-owned recreation facilities at a disadvantage under Indiana’s local tax system? It is a symptom of the success of Indiana’s state parks that brings attention to this issue. By being such popular destinations, there are some county expenses that increase as a result of increased use by those who are not residents of the surrounding county. One such increase is road maintenance. As all those motorists arrive in Brown County (or Steuben County visiting Pokagon State Park, or Union and Franklin Counties visiting Whitewater State Park, Marion County visiting Fort Harrison State Park, etc.) those cars and trucks can cause early degradation of road infrastructure. Indiana’s road funding formula takes into account lane miles and number of vehicles registered, but the influx of vehicles because of tourism is not reflected in the calculation. This leaves host counties with a higher burden but no increased revenue to meet that burden without drawing from local resources. Also, with these properties being state owned, state parks and recreation areas are exempt from paying property taxes. However, one of the county services that is funded by property taxes is law enforcement. Part of being a good host to state parks, counties either provide direct law enforcement services at the park or do so by agreement to aid state personnel if the need arises.

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.

  • Fort Benjamin Harrison: from Military Base to Indiana State
    FORT BENJAMIN HARRISON: FROM MILITARY BASE TO INDIANA STATE PARK Melanie Barbara Hankins Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in the Department of History, Indiana University April 2020 Accepted by the Graduate Faculty of Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Master’s Thesis Committee ____________________________________ Philip V. Scarpino, Ph.D., Chair ____________________________________ Rebecca K. Shrum, Ph.D. ____________________________________ Anita Morgan, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgements During my second semester at IUPUI, I decided to escape the city for the day and explore the state park, Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park. I knew very little about the park’s history and that it was vaguely connected to the American military. I would visit Fort Harrison State Park many times the following summer, taking hikes with my dog Louie while contemplating the potential public history projects at Fort Harrison State Park. Despite a false start with a previous thesis topic, my hikes at Fort Harrison State Park inspired me to take a closer look at the park’s history, which eventually became this project. Finishing this thesis would have been nearly impossible without the encouragement and dedication of many people. First, I need to thank my committee: Dr. Philip Scarpino, Dr. Rebecca Shrum, and Dr. Anita Morgan for their criticism, support, and dedication throughout my writing process. I would especially like to thank my chair, Dr. Scarpino for his guidance through the transition of changing my thesis topic so late in the game.

  • 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.
