Many Brown County State Park facilities are open again after 10 days, and drinkable water is now considered safe again at the park.

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources reports that campgrounds, cabins, restrooms and drinking fountains, as well as Abe Martin Lodge have been reopened. And the public pool was scheduled to reopen at noon for its regular schedule.

Those water facilities had been closed since June 17th after heavy rains stirred up sediment in Ogle Lake, which clogged the filters on the park’s water treatment facility. The park’s potable water comes from the Lake.

Some trails are being evaluated for storm damage and are still closed. DNR reports that the horsemen’s campground is open, but horse trails are still being assessed. Mountain bike trails remain closed and are being assessed as well. Some hiking trails remain closed due to flooding damage to boardwalks and staircases.
