Statewide—On Friday, Indiana State Parks entrance gates were back open at all properties. So if you plan on visiting one in the near future, bring your annual pass or plan to pay a daily gate fee. Nature centers, restrooms, and trails are open to enjoy. Campgrounds, inns, and cabins are tentatively scheduled to open on May 24.
Guidelines for staying safe while visiting a local state park include things like visiting parks and public lands close to home, wearing a mask and bringing hand sanitizer with you, washing your hands frequently, avoiding crowded parking lots and not parking on the grass, and practicing social distancing and “carry-in, carry-out” with your trash and other items you bring with you.
