People Make the Difference

Many individuals worked hard to ensure that Potato Creek State Park had great diversity in natural, cultural, and recreational resources, and Representative Richard Mangus stood out in his support. During his 32 years from 1972 to 2004 in the Indiana General Assembly, he worked tirelessly for Potato Creek, and his efforts helped fund a bike trail, family cabins, and many other facilities visitors use each day. One of his dreams for Potato Creek was the development of an inn overlooking Worster Lake, a hope that remained unrealized here. Representative Mangus and many others made a difference at Potato Creek State Park.
