VIGO COUNTY, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — The Wabashiki Fish and Wildlife Area has been named the 2024 Midwestern Traveler's Best Place to Paddle in Indiana.

While only holding water for a few months of the year, Wabashiki hosts kayaking in the spring and summer months with lots of wildlife spotting opportunities. Vigo County Parks and Recreation's natural resource programmer Heather Cosme Milian said that she loves that the parks in Vigo County are getting the recognition that they deserve.

Cosme Milian also noted that both Griffin Bike Park and Fowler Park were also nominated for awards this year.
