Spring Mill State Park is the best place to go to spend Earth Day!

We know that Earth Day is on the 22nd, but that’s on a Monday. There’s no time for fun on Mondays! So, we will celebrate on April 20th.

Bring the kids and join us for a day FULL OF FUN at the Lakeview Activity Center. Make crafts, learn about recycling and participate in activities with Arts in the Park partners.

Today is also FREE FISHING DAY. Bring your tackle box and your fishin’ pole and catch some fish!
