About Pokagon State Park:
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources protects, enhances, preserves, and wisely uses natural, cultural, and recreational resources for the benefit of Indiana's citizens through professional leadership, management, and education. Pokagon State Park is named to acknowledge the rich Native American heritage of the state and region. Leopold and Simon Pokagon, father and son, were notable leaders of the Potawatomi. Pokagon means “something used to shield,” a fitting attribute of two leaders who championed for Native-American rights. The park is framed by Lake James and Snow Lake which offer opportunities for boating, swimming, fishing, and scenic sunsets. Pokagon is also a favorite winter destination for cross-country skiing, sledding, twin-track tobogganing, and ice fishing and a twin-track toboggan run.
