Expanded Recreation Opportunities
The Salamonie River State Forest will be managed as part of Salamonie Lake, while the Frances Slocum State Forest will be taken care of through Mississinewa Lake. Both properties will maintain staffing and continue to offer activities like camping, fishing, hiking, hunting, and horseback riding.
