We love to hike the dogs at potato creek state park. Potato Creek State Park has paved a dirt travels and beautiful lake that you can swim in or paddle board, kayak, or canoe on. It's one of our favorite places in town.
The Produces Market, or Farmers Market as we call it today, continues to be a bustling place. It is still open on the days established in 1911 – Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. It is also open on Friday starting on the first Friday of May thru the Friday before Christmas. A restaurant is located in the center of the market, with three counters. It remains busy throughout the day. Farmer’s Market is a South Bend landmark that is mighty proud of its history. The market continues to offer the same benefits to the community as it did at the beginning: fresh, home-grown produce (fruits and vegetables), dairy products, meats, poultry, eggs, maple syrup, jams, jellies, flowers, handcrafts, artwork, jewelry, gift items and many more unique items. When you put all these products and the restaurant in one H-shaped building, add the atmosphere of a bazaar, a crowd of eager customers, and the warmth of Michiana friendliness, you’ve got.
