BROWN COUNTY — The campgrounds, cabins and Abe Martin Lodge have reopened at Brown County State Park, according to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.
Modern restrooms and drinking fountains are open. The park’s public pool was expected to open at noon on its regular schedule. Abe Martin Lodge’s Little Gem restaurant was expected to resume its normal schedules for lunch and dinner.
The horsemen’s campground is open, but horse trails are still being assessed for storm damage. Mountain bike trails remain closed and are being assessed as well. Some hiking trails remain closed due to flooding damage to boardwalks and staircases.
Campsites and inn rooms are available for this weekend, and the inn’s aquatic center will be open.
Abe Martin Lodge, pools, modern restrooms, and drinking fountains have been closed since June 17 due to the amount of sediment that washed into Ogle Lake along with torrential rains. Ogle Lake is the park’s water supply, and sediment impacted the filters in the water treatment facility.
