Potawatomi State Park
2026 Road Construction and Closures
A large road construction, water line replacement and electric service project is taking place at Potawatomi State Park through fall 2026 that will affect availability of the south shore shelter and access to the universal fishing pier. The construction area includes the southern portion of S. Norway Road (from the Entrance Road T-intersection east to Shoreline Road) and the southern portion of Shoreline Road. The campground, accessible cabin and amphitheater are now open.
Roads outside of the campground will be widened to meet modern road standards, accommodate the addition of bicycle lanes in both directions of travel, and ditching for water conveyance and storm water management. Access to trails in the south end of the park will be impacted throughout the construction period. Watch for "Road Closed" and "Trail Closed" signs and keep out of areas posted as closed.
South Shore Shelter: The shelter is closed in the reservation system from Jan. 1 through mid-October 2026.
Ice Age Trail: The Ice Age Trail is expected to remain open during the majority of the construction period. Please use caution at road crossings within the construction area.
Construction dates are subject to change. Updates to the Potawatomi State Park construction project will be posted to this page. (Updated 9/25/26)
