Indiana State Parks to keep pools closed this summer

Statewide—Versailles State Park pool along with all the pools at Indiana State Parks will remain closed for the 2020 summer season due to limitations in the ability for social distancing on enclosed pool decks.

While the parks’ officials know that campers and the local community look for opportunities to cool off on hot summer days with water-based recreation, beaches at Indiana State Parks, big lakes, and state forest properties are open, and have adequate space for guests to practice social distancing on the sand and in grassy areas in most locations. Property and concession operated boat rentals are available that can get you out on the water in many locations as well. To see where beaches and boat rentals are located, check out the facilities chart in the Indiana Recreation Guide, which is available at gates, offices, and nature centers, or download the guide by clicking here.
