ERRA History
The Elkhart River Restoration Association, Inc. was founded in 1983 to study the needs of the Elkhart River and its watershed. As a 501 C-3 not-for-profit corporation, the association works with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, the Army Corp. of Engineers, and local officials to improve the river. The Association helps to identify the various needs along the river, informs officials, seeks to make the river a public priority, and assists in the planning of cleanup and repair projects.
Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the river for fishing, boating, and its natural wildlife and beauty.

Walleye Stocking
Scheduled for October 14th at approximately 1:00 PM.
First location will be Shanklin Park. Come Join Us!!!
The Elkhart River Restoration Association (ERRA) stocks walleye fingerlings (6”-9” long fish) every two years in the Elkhart River at the Shanklin Park boat launch and at the boat launch in Violett Cemetery. These two locations allow walleye to access the River both above and below the Goshen Dam. The fish are hatched and raised at the Gollon Bait and Fish Farm in Dodgeville, WI.
