The latest guides to exploring Indiana’s great outdoors are now available at your fingertips and will soon be available at a Department of Natural Resources (DNR) property near you soon.
The 2025 DNR Indiana Recreation Guide is available now at on.IN.gov/recguide.
And the 2025-2026 guide to Indiana fishing, the DNR Indiana Fishing Regulations Guide, is available at on.IN.gov/fishingguide.
The Recreation Guide is the source for information on state parks, state forests, lakes, fish & wildlife areas, nature preserves, state park inns, and other DNR properties. The guide includes a detailed facilities chart and information about accessibility and fees.
Annual entrance passes for state park properties can be purchased in person at the gatehouse or offices of state park properties during business hours or at shopINstateparks.com any time.
Indiana resident state park annual entrance passes cost $50. For individuals 65 years old or older, the price is $25. Annual entrance passes for vehicles with out-of-state license plates are $70. The daily gate fee at most state park properties is $7 per in-state vehicle. More information is at on.IN.gov/stateparks.
The Fishing Regulations Guide contains all rules and regulations for anglers looking to fish in Indiana, along with helpful information on individual species and public waters available to all Hoosiers. This year’s guide highlights the exceptional catches in the Record Fish and Fish of the Year programs, as well as a great new recipe for fish tacos.
Fishing and hunting licenses can be purchased at INHuntFish.com. They can also be purchased at retailers, county clerk offices, and most DNR properties throughout the state.
