Allen's Creek Campground to close

Indiana DNR Release:

The campground at Allen's Creek State Recreation Area, a DNR-owned and managed facility in Monroe County, will close to all camping as of Feb. 1, 2011.

This restriction will not affect other activities such as hiking, picnicking, birding, or hunting during legal season. The boat ramp and all other facilities will remain open to public use.

The reasons for the change are economics, change in use patterns, and further protection of the resource. The closure includes all walk-in and boat-in camping, as well as all shoreline camping.

For more information on permitted activity please contact: Monroe Reservoir, 4850 St. Rd. 446, Bloomington, In. 47401, phone (812) 837-9546 or jroach@dnr.in.gov.
