Hundreds of trees were destroyed.According to park officials, structures and trees experienced extensive damage due to the wind and falling debris.As the roots were pulled to the surface, they damaged infrastructure, including roads and electrical, water and sewer lines.
Cleanup is underway by Indiana DNR crews, but the park says nearly all the campground’s facilities will need to be repaired, reconstructed or redesigned. “While we’re saddened at the sudden impacts to our beloved campground and trails, we remain optimistic for the future,” the Facebook post read. “This event offers us a chance to better understand forces of nature, and an opportunity to rebuild a campground and trails that will be enjoyed by generations to come.”
