Still Time to Go Camping; Hunting Season Begins

Labor Day signals that the end of Summer is right around the corner. Yet, there are still many recreational opportunities ahead. 

Brock Gee from the United States Army Corps of Engineers in Shelbyville says that the front end of Coon Creek Recreational Area in Shelbyville is open with new facilities.    

Gee says that you should make reservations ahead of time, and that the corps has shifted to an online reservation system. 

While Coon Creek will be open in early October, other campsites are starting to close. 

Gee also says that the end of camping season signals the start of hunting season. 

Reservations for camping can be made six months in advance and are open for early March 2022. You can go to recreation.gov to book your reservations.
