Fox Island County Park

Fox Island is a 604 acre park in southwest Allen County.  The park contains sections of forest, marsh, restored prairie, and wetland forest.  Look for birds, frogs, and even salamanders while hiking the many trails. A nature center is open year round where you can pick up maps, ask for information, or play in the kids area.   If we are lucky to get enough snow (4 in) in the winter, there are ski rentals available for cross country skiing on the trails. If you are interested in a picnic, there are several shelters and area with grills.  Bowman lake has a beach for swimming, and there is even an area for dogs to swim. The park opens at 9am every day, and closing time depends on the season.  The nature center is stroller and wheelchair friendly.  There is a short paved path and boardwalk on either side of the nature center.
