(Statewide) – The Indiana Department of Natural Resources invites you to share your experiences with accessibility at DNR properties such as Versailles State Park and others across the state.
An online, five-question survey is now available at on.IN.gov/2024-guest-survey and can be completed in about five minutes.
The agency says creating a welcoming environment for all guests while retaining natural experiences is a key priority for DNR.
The department’s new accessibility webpage at on.IN.gov/dnr-accessibility provides information on accessible activities such as visiting beaches and pools, fishing, hunting, wildlife viewing, exploring trails, and more.
“Exploring Indiana’s great outdoors is a pastime that must be available to everyone,” said Dan Bortner, DNR director. “It’s exciting to see people find new experiences to enjoy through the accessibility webpage we launched this year. Through feedback we receive on this survey, we will continue working to improve accessibility and help overcome barriers that may prevent people from experiencing Indiana’s incredible natural and cultural wonders.”
As DNR adds and refines accessible activities based on feedback from this survey, the webpage will continue to be updated with new activities and places to explore.
“The DNR continues to make strides towards improving access, and we encourage people to reach out to our properties with accessibility questions,” said Ric Edwards, DNR director of ADA compliance. “We are fully committed to creating memorable, natural outdoors experiences for everyone to enjoy.”
