Recreation guides available online

Indiana DNR Release:

Your guide to Indiana's best values in outdoor recreation is available online now at www.stateparks.IN.gov/2390.htm.

The Department of Natural Resources’ 2011 Indiana Recreation Guide is every Hoosier’s source for information on state parks, reservoirs, state park inns, fish and wildlife areas, state forests, state historic sites and other DNR properties.

Local retail outlets and, of course, state parks, reservoirs and other DNR properties will have free printed copies available in early March.

Annual entrance passes can be purchased in person at the gatehouse or offices of state park and reservoir properties during business hours, at the Indiana Government Center South in Indianapolis, or at innsgifts.com.

Indiana resident passes are $36 or $18 for individuals 65 years old or older. Annual passes for vehicles with out-of-state license plates are $46. Normal daily gate fees for residents at most properties are $5 per vehicle. Prices for the passes and for the daily entry fees have remained the same since 2006.
