Special parking set for Hoosier Outdoor Experience

Indiana DNR Release:

Visitors to the Hoosier Outdoor Experience on Friday and Saturday at Fort Harrison State Park are reminded of special parking and transportation plans for the event.

Parking is free, but there will be no vehicle access to the state park.

Signs will direct visitors to park in the Maj. Gen. E.J. Bean Finance Center parking lot off Post Road. A free shuttle service will transport you to the event from there, or you may walk to the event from the parking lot. An accessible bus lot also has been established. Attendees should not park there unless they need this service.

To view a map of the parking lot, visit hoosieroutdoorexperience.IN.gov and click on the Parking icon. If using an online mapping site, such as www.mapquest.com, enter your destination as the intersection of Herbert Lord Road and North Post Road.

Bicyclists may enter through the foot entrance on Glenn Road off 56th Street. Supervised Pedal & Park bicycle racks will be available.
IndyGo Route 4 will provide transportation to the event on Saturday. There is no bus service on Sunday.

The Hoosier Outdoor Experience is a family-friendly event that is the first of its kind in Indiana. Unlike traditional trade shows, visitors will be able to enjoy hands-on experiences in a wide range of outdoor activities, such as fly fishing, target shooting, archery, kayaking, mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing, camping and much more.

The Hoosier Outdoor Experience is presented by the Department of Natural Resources and the Indiana Natural Resources Foundation, with sponsorship support from the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust; Ball Brothers Foundation; WXIN-Fox 59, Indianapolis; and numerous other sponsors.

Admission, activities, demonstrations and seminars are free to the public, along with parking, but online registration is required. To register, go to hoosieroutdoorexperience.IN.gov and click on the yellow registration icon.
