Visit Indiana State Parks this Fall
|
With autumn quickly approaching, Hoosiers from all corners of Indiana will be spending time outdoors to enjoy the cooler temperatures and the fall foliage.
From Indiana Dunes State Park on Lake Michigan to Clifty Falls State Park on the Ohio River, our state is home to 24 state parks and eight reservoir properties where you can enjoy the change in colors.
Our state park system will be hosting many great family-friendly events across Indiana again this year including:
With every Hoosier living within an hour's drive to a state park or recreation area, I hope you and your family are able to take advantage of the many recreational opportunities our state has to offer this year.
