PARKE COUNTY, Ind. (WTHI) - Raccoon Lake State Park offered a pop-up nature center early Saturday morning. Guests enjoyed learning all about the plants, animals, and even some of the history of Raccoon Lake.
Even though the park does not have a nature center, events like this give campers the opportunity to get up close to nature.
News 10 Spoke with Ross Plotkin, the Interpretive Naturalist at Raccoon Lake S.R.A. to see how this opportunity is different from other State Parks that have a visitors or nature center.

PARKE COUNTY, Ind. (WTHI) - Cecil M. Hardin Lake at Raccoon Lake State Recreation Area has now hit its winter pool. This means that lake levels are now 22 feet below the normal summer pool. All but one of the boat ramps are closed at this time. But for those who still want to boat on the lake can still use the Mansfield ramp. That ramp is located off Ferndale road on the south side of the lake.
