Located in the northeastern corner of the state along the border of Ohio and Michigan, Pokagon was established in the 1920s and is one of the oldest state parks in the state. It contains over 1,000 acres of land.

The park is centered around 2 gorgeous lakes known as Snow Lake and Lake James. They feature crystal clear waters where you can boat, kayak, fish, and swim. In the spring and summer months, you'll notice the surface covered in lily pads and flowers.

The grounds features over 200 campsites including picturesque log cabins. Be sure to reserve a spot with plenty of time ahead as this can become a popular destination in the summer months.

By far one of the prettiest features of the park is the Potawatomi Inn. A beautiful historic lodge opened in 1927 that contains restaurants, a swimming pool, an outdoor deck, and sweeping views of the lake. Perfect for those who aren't as outdoorsy or interested in the camping aspect.
