Potawatomi Wildlife Park
The Potawatomi Tribe once called this region their home, before they were forced west in the 1830’s. This quiet 317 acre preserve along the Tippecanoe River includes the site of a rare post-removal Potawatomi village that existed until the early 1850s. Images depict its past, as well as an 1834 cabin, the oldest structure in Marshall County. Displays in the Interpretive Center give a glimpse of the area’s rich history and nature. Visitors can hike five miles of trails through woodlands and prairie. You may spot turkey, waterfowl and deer along the way, as well as a wide variety of birds.
The park operates year round. It is open 365 days a year. Guests are asked to leave the park before sunset except for when special events are authorized. It is located at 16998 State Road 331; Tippecanoe.
