Indiana State Parks The great outdoors offers a great way to RE-CONNECT with family, self, and God. Here is a link to Indiana State Parks. This link contains information on purchasing park passes, camping and state parks with Inns, and child friendly activities.
There are many programs you can get involved with at DNR properties. Most are covered by your park entry fee although others may have an additional fee. Here is the 2011-2012 calendar of events: Indiana State Parks Special Events.
