Prairie Maze Opens Sept. 14 at Indiana’s Potato Creek State Park

Get lost in the beauty of a tallgrass prairie at Potato Creek State Park’s prairie maze, which opens Sept. 14.

Visitors can wander through 1.25 miles of trails cut in the 7-foot-tall restored prairie grasses. The popular maze has been reworked again this year with a new feature. Several stations throughout the maze will feature riddles about prairies.

Maze walkers should park at the west lot at the northwest corner of Worster Lake. Maps of the maze will be available at the park entrance gate, park office and the nature center through the end of October.

The maze is free. Admission to the park costs $5 per in-state vehicle or $7 per out-of-state vehicle.

For more information, call (574) 656-8186.

Potato Creek State Park is at 25601 State Road 4, North Liberty, 46554.
