This is fairly new. DNR posted it about a month ago. I've never been here and don't know much about it other than what it say's.
Recently Added Sites
Outdoor lovers have new access to Sugar Creek with the recent opening of the new Sugar Creek Public Fishing Area, located southwest of Crawfordsville.
The Montgomery County site is approximately 1.5 miles south of Indiana 32 on Camp Rotary Road, and approximately 1 mile west on Offield Road. The DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife purchased the approximately 12.5-acre area as part of a larger partnership to acquire 41 acres.
The 12.5 acre site has been planted with trees using a tree planter from the Indiana State Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation and includes a parking lot. The existing path to the creek for canoes has been improved. Pheasants Forever will plant a portion of the site with warm-season grasses.
The remaining land, owned and managed by NICHES Land Trust, was acquired with funds from the Indiana Heritage Trust, NICHES Land Trust, The Nature Conservancy, and Friends of Sugar Creek. That 28.5-acre area, known as Bachner Nature Preserve, also has been planted with native trees and grasses with support from Pheasants Forever.
Fishing is allowed on both parcels. There is no fee for use of either.
