Potawatomi Wildlife Park, Tippecanoe, Indiana — Attraction in Argos

They no longer allow you on the observing field after 1 AM, which during the summer makes it basically useless, except for a few days a month around the new moon, you have to be out of there well before the moon sets and you can only observe planets which I can do from Indianapolis where I live,. They turned off power to the observing field. I feel like they should no longer say they are a dark sky Park. They have motion sensitive lights that face the observing field that turn on every time an animal runs past. If I could give them zero stars, I would give them zero stars.

As far as the nature reserve part of it, they preserve a lot of mosquitoes, but I have not seen much other wildlife...

What a beautiful hidden gem!! First attraction is a log cabin home original to the area, it looks so natural sitting in this location, perfect addition to the park. Pavillion was really nice, featuring a kitchen, fire pit with seating and a grill, great for all kinds of events. Around the bend from the Pavillion is an interpretation center and a educational walk path about the eco system of the river. There is an star viewing available and beautiful grounds to hike. So very well maintained and a peaceful park.

I will return when I have more time and plan to spend...

What an awesome gem of northern Indiana. This park is great for star parties (viewing stars with very little light pollution). They have an observation field that has three concrete pads to setup telescopes and one observation tower (as of this review it was not operational though). The three telescope pads do have power outlets, but you will want to bring about a 10' extension cord if you need to plug in.

I briefly walked the trails and they are well manicured. The park staff are very friendly and helpful, so if you have questions, don't be afraid to call...
