Riding Tippy

By: HRA Crack Research Team

You can find Winamac, Indiana on any map. Drive north on 35,
and Tippecanoe will be on your right (East) within a couple
of miles

The Horsemen's Cam has 46 primitive sites.
There is plenty of shade, hitching posts, water every few
campsites, a playground, and a new day use area. They have
vault toilets at this time, but there are rumors floating
around about future plans for a modern bathroom with
showers.

The hitching posts have horizontal pieces made out of metal
pipe instead of wood. It keeps the horses from chewing. The
campground has gravel parking pads and sites on each side of
the road.

There are over 12 miles of trails that wind through the
woods, you will see deer, and may wish to climb the fire
tower. Half of the trails are sandy, and the other half are
sometimes muddy; but that only happens after a rain.
Another nasty thing that happens after lots of rain is the
voracious mosquitoes that attack in incredible
numbers!

The trails wind around and connect to each other in such a
fashion that you seldom see other riders even
though the campground is full. The terrain is mainly flat
with a few small hills which makes it a nice place to ride
with younger children.

The DNR people will come around sometime in the evening to
collect for camping, just drive in and get a spot.

There are other attractions in the park such as hiking
trails, boating, fishing, and a group camping area. Swimming
is available at nearby Bass Lake. By all means, try riding
at Tippecanoe.
