Directions
From Angola, travel west on U.S. 20 to I-69. Travel north on I-69 and continue to the Pokagon State Park exit (exit 154). Proceed north on West Road, which runs parallel to I-69, to Feather Valley Road and turn rights (east). Continue to C.R. 100 E. and turn left (north) to the designated parking area. These directions will take you to both Wing Haven and the boat launch - it's a great place to canoe!
