Indiana’s Department of Natural Resources has a wonderful website chocked full of information about the department as well as the details concerning the properties they manage. From places to go and things to do, to permits and news, can be found on their website.

 

 

Every year, the department publishes a free Indiana Recreation Guide. This guide offers information in an easy to use format. There is a map of the state with all the properties marked for locating a property near you. A chart of all the properties covers a two-page spread so you can find which properties offer specific activities, like ice fishing or mountain bike trails. The rest of the guide gives short details about each property and well as mini close-up maps for each location.

The department also publishes Outdoor Indiana magazine. Published six times a year, the magazine features stories and articles about the state parks, the wildlife, and the people who enjoy them.
