State Park Overview:

Potato Creek is located in north central Indiana about 12 miles southwest of South Bend. The park features a wide array of activities and facilities for year-round enjoyment. We would suggest making reservations at this very popular park.

A variety of natural habitats await the visitor to this park including the 327 acre Worster Lake, old fields, mature woodlands, restored prairies and diverse wetlands. Each of these offer their own unique opportunities for plant and wildlife observations.

Great Weekend Getaway!

Everyone can find something to do. It is clean and the people are friendly.

Something for everyone...

Potato Creek is our favorite park. There is something for everyone. You can ride your bikes through the woods and prairie land, take a dip at the beach, and hike the trails. Wander a little bit off of the beaten path and you will find beaver dams, ospreys nesting, and wild turkeys strutting. We visit Potato Creek just about daily. There is an old cemetery in the State Park that still has a few plots left. We intend to enjoy the park for life...and then some.

First visit to this park

This is another one of those beautiful Indiana state parks!!! I hiked the 10K AVA event 08-16-08 and was so delighted with the hiking trails and beauty of this park. I could tell there was much love for this park. I was happy to see quite a few people enjoying the park that day. It made me happy to see so many people enjoying one of our beautiful state parks. I will return---it is a favorite on my list.

love the park but draining the creek

I went this weekend, sept 7, 2008 they have drained the creek some its the most i dont know what word to use. From the shore line the water is back about 10-15yards. The explorer in me was looking at all the shells and stuff you dont get to see when the water is there. The nature side of me was looking for anything alive that needed to get put in the water. The artist side of me was looking at the new old upcoming life and death
