About Pokagon State Park:
Pokagon State Park is named to acknowledge the rich Native American heritage of the state and region. Leopold and Simon Pokagon, father and son, were notable leaders of the Potawatomi. Pokagon means “something used to shield,” a fitting attribute of two leaders who championed for Native-American rights. The park is framed by Lake James and Snow Lake which offer opportunities for boating, swimming, fishing, and scenic sunsets. Pokagon is also a favorite winter destination for cross-country skiing, sledding, twin-track tobogganing, ice fishing, and a twin-track toboggan run.
