Veterans Day is November 11.

INDIANAPOLIS - All veterans and active-duty military personnel, and everyone in their vehicle, will be admitted free to DNR-managed state parks, reservoir properties, state forest recreation areas, and off-road state recreation areas on Veterans Day, Tuesday, November 11.

“We honor the sacrifices and service of our veterans and active-duty military and look forward to recognizing them with a day exploring some of Indiana’s most treasured natural places,” said Brandt Baughman, director of Indiana State Parks.

Veterans and military personnel should simply tell the gate attendant at the property that they are either a veteran or serving and on active duty.

For general information about state parks, reservoirs, forest properties, and off-road state recreation areas, see on.IN.gov/recguide.
