Formerly known as Lake James State Park, Pokagon State Park is a 1,260-acre park bordered by two picturesque lakes. There are plenty of hiking trails that range in difficulty from easy to moderate, and the water offers excellent swimming, fishing, and boating. Private boats are not permitted on the lake, but fishing boats, kayaks, and peddle boats can be rented onsite, and fishing is also permitted from the pier. The park is also a popular destination during the winter, when it's transformed into a snow-covered wonderland that invites visitors to toboggan, cross-country ski, and ice fish.
