McCormick's State Park in Owen County hopes to reopen to visitors on Friday following last weekend's deadly storm at the park's campground.

Brett and Wendy Kincaid of Rossville were in a camper that was struck by the tornado there last Friday.

The park and the Canyon Inn will remain closed to the public through Thursday.

Barring any significant changes, the park will Oopen for day use on Friday. Canyon Inn will also open for dining and overnight lodging, and Sunday's Easter Buffet will continue as planned.

The campground, which took the brunt of the tornado damage, will remain closed at least through April 30 and likely beyond. The damage is severe. Those with camping reservations will be contacted directly regarding changes or cancelations.

There is some minor damage to a few of the family cabins. Guests with reservations will be contacted  regarding moves to other cabins on site where possible until they are repaired.

The Wildflower Weekend activities scheduled for April 7-9 will be postponed until later in the spring.

DNR saw crews continue to clear roads and will be working on trails as well, but some trails may remain closed for a period of time.
