What's New & Statistics

Collectively, Indiana State Park properties have over 2,000 buildings, including more than 200 shelters, 160 playgrounds, 150 cabins, 27 nature centers and 7 inns with 631 rooms. There are also more than 700 miles of trails, more than 75 launching ramps, 10 outdoor swimming pools, 22 beaches, and about 8,000 campsites. That’s a lot of maintenance, so much time is also focused on basic facility care, cleaning, and mowing.

Indiana State Parks 2024 Survey

Indiana State Parks invite you to participate in a new survey to help us better understand your interests and the way you use our properties. This is a chance to share your opinions related to facilities, services, natural and cultural resources, and more. The results are one of the tools we will use in establishing priorities for the next several years.

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has several land-holding divisions. You can find a list of the properties managed by Indiana State Parks under “properties.”

The survey may take 10-15 minutes to complete, and we appreciate your willingness to devote your valuable time.

If you share your contact information at the end of the survey, we will include you in a drawing for valuable prizes to use in 2025, including annual entrance passes, camping gift cards, and state park inn gift cards.

• Take the survey.

You can view results of our 2017 survey and other information about Indiana State Parks below.

Below, you will find a list including some of the work Indiana State Parks has done and will be doing to prepare for your visits in 2023. Improvements include new construction and infrastructure along with some projects to enhance campgrounds, restrooms, nature centers, inns, and trails. There are many other small projects and events not listed that also help manage and interpret the facilities, natural and cultural resources, and the history of Indiana’s state park system.

We look forward to your visits this year!
