Exploring Indiana’s great outdoors

INDIANA – The latest guides to exploring Indiana’s great outdoors are available online and at a Department of Natural Resources property near you.

The DNR’s 2024 Indiana Recreation Guide provides information on state parks, state forests, lakes, fish and wildlife areas, nature preserves, state park inns, and other DNR properties. The guide includes a facilities chart and information about accessibility and fees.
