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

The 2024 Indiana Recreation Guide is available at on.in.gov/recguide. The Indiana Fishing Regulations Guide is available at on.in.gov/fishingguide.

The DNR’s 2024 Indiana Recreation Guide is the source for 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.

Soon, free printed copies of each will be available at local retail outlets, state parks, lakes and other DNR properties.

Paper copies of the guides also are available at the DNR booth at the 69th annual Indianapolis Boat, Sport and Travel Show at the Indiana State Fairgrounds through Feb. 25. DNR’s booth is at the show’s Tackle Town in the Blue Ribbon Pavilion.

Annual entrance passes for state park properties can be purchased in person at the gatehouse or offices of state park properties during business hours, at shopinstateparks.com any time or at the Boat, Sport and Travel Show.

Indiana resident passes cost $50. For individuals 65 or older, the price is $25. Annual passes for vehicles with out-of-state license plates are $70. Normal daily gate fees for residents at most properties are $7 per in-state vehicle.

Fishing and hunting licenses can be purchased and printed at inhuntfish.com. They also can be purchased at retailers, county clerk offices and most DNR properties throughout the state as well as at the Boat, Sport and Travel Show.
