Tippecanoe River State ParkVolunteers are needed to give Tippecanoe River State Park on U.S. 35, four miles north of Winamac, a good spring cleaning for the season. The annual volunteer day is scheduled for Saturday, May 4, which is also the “Welcome Back Weekend” at the park. Volunteers will meet at the nature center and work in several areas of the park, including the horseman’s campground and the nature center. Construction of the two new Tippecanoe River overlooks will also take place that day. Materials to replace them were donated by two local families and Plymouth Tube provided the steel for the supports. Friends of Tippecanoe River State Park volunteers tore out the old overlooks and have done the prep work for the replacement structures. If you would like to help out with these or any of the other projects at the park, call the office at (574) 946-3213.
