Potato Creek area makes great strides

Potato Creek State Recreation Area, dedicated in June of last year, has become the fifth highest income producer of all state properties, standing behind Brown County, Dunes, Pokagon and McCormick’s Creek State Parks. During the first six months of 1978, Brown County State Park produced an income of $128,390; Dunes State Park, $123,860; Pokagon State Park, $119,060; McCormick’s Creek State Park, $98,460; and Potato Creek State Recreation Area, $96,560. Pokagon State Park and Potato Creek State Recreation Area are presently the only two state properties that offer winter sports. However, this winter there will be four additional properties with cross country skiing available; these include Dunes, Tippicanoe and Chain O’Lakes State Parks and Ouabache State Recreation Area, according to John Lester, Administrative Assistant for the Division of State Parks. Pokagon State Park’s primary source of winter income is the tobaggon run which produced $34,661 over this past season; cross country skiing brought in nearly $5,000' Potato Creek’s first winter season of ski rentals produced nearly $3,600, and offered skiers four attractive color coded trails covering a variety of terrain and woodland. Located in North Liberty, southwest of South Bend in Saint Joseph County, Potato Creek State Recreation Area lies six miles west of US 31 on SR 4. The recreation area is comprised of several sections which offer a wide variety of recreation activities. Wooster Lake, covering 343 acres, serves as the main attraction of the 3,840 acre recreation area. A variety of water activities are available, including fishing, boating and swimming. The best lake fishing has been for bass, bluegill and channel catfish. Lake Rules Lake rules permit electric motors only, in order to establish a serene atmosphere. Private boat owners will find launching ramps easily accessible. Moreover, rowboat and canoe rentals are available. Potato Creek State Recreation Area also provides 287 campsites ranging from modern comfort

stations to youth tent areas and primitive sites. Facilities include electric hookups, dumping stations, picnic tables, campfire rings, hot showers and restrooms. The camping policies here are the same as those at other state properties. Horesmen are also welcome at the state recreation area where there are 70 campsites equipped with hitching posts from which to choose. Six miles of bridle trail circle the area southwest of Wooster Lake and just north of the southward bound Potato Creek. Six miles of asphalt bicycle trails wind through the wooded area north of the lake. A new bike rental facility will be opening at Potato Creek State Recreation Area around the first of August. Currently there are no hiking trails at Potato Creek State Recreation Area; however, the Youth Conservation Corps is blazing a trail this summer which will connect the recreation area with Swamp Rose Nature Preserve which is located in the northeast corner of the property. Nature Perserve The nature preserve displays unique remnants of old glacial kames or lake beds which are gradually filling-in to form various stages of shrub swamps, wetlands and successive upland fields and forests. Dense thickets of swamp rose are prevalent in the preserve, denoting the origin of the name of the property. Visitors may also discover any of the 275 floral species growing in the area. The naturalist program at Potato Creek State Recreation Area has been an overwhelming success, according to Mike Ellis, Chief Naturalist for Indiana’s State Parks. Tim Cordell, the recreation area naturalist , has coordinated a “Hunt for the Great Potato.’’ Participants discover clues which lead them to an oversized spud. Although this huge potato is actually a watermelon in disguise, none are dissappointed when the “Great Potato” is sampled.

Gullies created!

By RANDY HAIST Soil Conservation Service Intensive agriculture and heavy rainfall can combine to create gullies when surface water is concentrated in one area. The use of grass waterways can prevent this situation from becoming a serious soil erosion problem. Grass waterways are constructed to handle the flow of natural drainage without the cutting action of unprotected soil. Depths and widths are designed to handle the determined amount of surface runoff from watershed areas or to handle water from other sources, such as terraces and diversions. Grass waterways are only useable in areas of available sufficient moisture to sustain adequate grass cover Ideally, the grassed waterway should be constructed in the stability, they are readily adaptive to vegetative growth and they are the flattest grades in the area. Many factors must be deter-

mined in order to successfully' construct the grassed waterway These include the • amount of watershed to be drained into the waterway, the grade of the waterway, the vegetative cover most adaptable to the site and the erodibility of the soil in the site. Other factors include expected maintenance of vegetative cover and the maximum velocity the structure will hold. Maintaining the established grass waterway is important. Farm machinery must be disengaged and raised when crossing the waterway to prevent destruction of the side slopes The vegetative cover must be mowed and fertilized to maintain a dense and vigorous growth. Also livestock and vehicles must be excluded from the waterway. The grass waterway is one conservation pratffice that will help stop valuable loss of soil.
