Visitors should not be surprised if parts of Potawatomi State Park begin to look like a construction zone this week.

Preliminary work has begun on the park’s campground road resurfacing and waterline replacement project near South Norway Road. Tree removal started earlier this month.

According to the Friends of Potawatomi State Park, utility work on Shoreline Road is expected to begin Monday.

Park Superintendent Erin Brown-Stender warned of the project’s impact last summer, saying it will affect the park’s campsites, accessible cabin, South Shore shelter and amphitheater through June 2026.

Because of the project, visitors cannot reserve campsites, the shelter or the amphitheater until June 30, though she hoped the timeline can be moved up.

Visitors are asked to watch for and follow signage marking trail and road closures.

Construction is also ongoing at the park’s new visitor center. While the new $2.1 million building is not yet open to the public, it is offering weekend drive-up window service only.
