Visitor Comments, Memories and Reviews
July 21 A definite favorite by Morris Mohler
park review stars; one to five Thomas, a security personnel visited our site on the 19th. He was a delightful DNR employee. He represented TRSP and the IN DNR in an excellent way. It is a joy to meet young people who enjoy the outdoors and communicate with campers.
