River Preserve County Park is a well kept secret. The linear park, along the Elkhart River and adjacent canals, has several nice wildflower spots. One such place is a small woods just south of the Benton Dam, which is east of the parking lots at the Benton Spillway section of the River Preserve. On April 5 only Hepatica (
Hepatica nobilis var.
obtusa), Harbinger of Spring (
Erigenia bulbosa) and Siberian Squill (
Scilla siberica) were in bloom, but soon there will be many others.
