Agriculture and Forestry Commissioner Mike Strain, D.V.M., announced today that the Indian Creek Recreational Area maintenance is nearly complete and has reopened to visitors.
Strain said forestry officials closed the park in January.
“Indian Creek had to be closed earlier this year in order to complete routine maintenance,” Strain said. “We have reopened the park but portions of the campgrounds are still under construction and will open as they are completed.”
Strain said two bathhouses located in the main campground area had to be torn down. They are being replaced with a new bathhouse that is handicapped accessible, he said. A new bathhouse is still under construction; however, other facilities are available at the park.
State Forester Wade Dubea said in addition to the maintenance of Indian Creek, the Department has plans to implement a reservation system, renovate the playground area and introduce a new policy and fee schedule. |
