EV Charging Stations Available
A Tesla charging station with 2 Tesla ports and 1 universal port will be installed at the Potawatomi Inn this summer.

On the shore of Lake James in Indiana's northeast corner, the Potawatomi Inn at Pokagon State Park got the same 2016 promise as its sister inns: a Tesla charging station with 2 Tesla ports and 1 universal port. Current listings put the chargers in the lower parking lot north of the lodge, free for guests, though at around 8 kW they are an overnight proposition rather than a pit stop. Pokagon is the park with the refrigerated toboggan run, so winter visitors get a reason to linger that most Indiana campgrounds cannot offer. The nearest DC fast charging is in Angola, about 2 miles away, with Tesla Supercharger stations. Fremont is another option at roughly 3 miles, with EVgo. Wedged between I-69 and the Michigan line, this is one state park where a Supercharger is a five-minute drive from the lodge door.
