Get ready for fall events in Upper Wabash area
Fall will be full of activities in the Upper Wabash area this season.
Upper Wabash Interpretive Services offers two autumn camping weekends at Mississinewa Reservoir, Oct. 1-3 and 9-10. The related special events are open to day visitors, too.
The first weekend offers mock medieval battles, a Swamp Stomp obstacle course through the Land of Far, Far Away, crafts, hands-on percussion music for the kids, pellet rifle shooting, canoeing, lumberjack and pioneer activities, and more. Program fee is $2 per person.
The second weekend offers a movie, family games and a pumpkin decorating contest. Program fee is $1 per person.
Both weekends feature a fully decorated campground, trick-or-treating, a band, and kettle popcorn. Campsites are fully reserved at Missisinewa, but Salamonie Reservoir, only 30 minutes away, has campsites available. Visit www.in.gov/dnr/uwis for more information.
Salamonie features a fall camping event of its own Oct.15 -17. Hayrides, a hot dog roast, s'mores, a campsite decorating contest and trick-or-treating will be offered.
Wrap up the month of October at Ouabache State Park's fall festival, Oct. 29 and 30.
Visit the campfire story, learn about owls, make suet for birds, learn about bats, enter the decorated pumpkin contest, trick-or-treat, join the pot luck dinner, take a hayride, and play games. Register by calling (260) 468-2127 or (260) 824-0926.
The standard entrance fee ($5/in-state-plated car; $7/car for out-of-state license plates) will be in effect when the gatehouses are open.
