Wildlife Areas and Landscapes

Winamac Fish & Wildlife Area features a variety of habitats across 4,850 acres: second-growth oak forests, cultivated and fallow fields, small pine plantations, brushy edges, and small, shallow wetlands. While Jasper-Pulaski groups wetland, upland, and woodland habitats into three categories, Winamac features a more varied mix of forest, fields, and wetlands.

Winamac Fish & Wildlife Area offers rifle, trap, and archery ranges, as well as two fishing ponds within walking distance. Popular activities there include shooting, archery, hunting, fishing, trapping, and wildlife watching.

The 22-mile Panhandle Pathway is a rail-trail through Pulaski County and Cass County, Indiana. It is intended for non-motorized use and is suitable for walking, hiking, running, biking, and inline skating. Trail rules may change; check them before setting out. The Tippecanoe River forms the winding boundary of Tippecanoe River Nature Preserve for about 1.5 miles. The figures refer to different measurements: 22 miles is the length of the rail-trail; about 1.5 miles indicates the distance over which the Tippecanoe River forms the winding boundary of the preserve there.
