OWEN COUNTY— A sunny Thursday afternoon is making for a near perfect day at McCormick's Creek State Park.Martin lives nearby and comes to the state park often. She also witnessed a tornado in Owen County that caused devastating damage at McCormick's Creek a year ago.Park officials worked hard to get portions of the park open a week later and the clean up continued after that.
"It’s been very hard work, but it’s been rewarding to be able to get people back into the park," said Lindell."If you can imagine, being in a heavily wooded campground and almost all the trees have been knocked down or broken. We’re using the money from that harvest to actually help rebuild," said Lindell.
On April 8, Lindell says the park will be full. For three years they've been planning for the eclipse."Plan to spend the day, plan to get here early, bring plenty of food because if you choose to leave, you're probably not going to be able to get back in," said Lindell.
