Campgrounds, inns, restaurants, park offices and nature centers have reopened, at least somewhat, following the coronavirus outbreak. Now the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) wants to remind Hoosiers what will be open this summer, and what won’t be.

Rentable picnic shelters, recreation buildings and rally camps are tentatively scheduled to open on Monday, June 1 for groups of 100 people or less, with social distancing.

Property offices are open to members of the public who want to purchase passes, permits and fishing licenses.

On the contrary, the DNR’s public outdoor swimming pools will remain closed for the 2020 summer season. This includes the following locations: Mounds, Prophetstown, Turkey Run, McCormick’s Creek, Spring Mill, Brown County, Versailles, Clifty Falls, O’Bannon Woods, Shakamak and Harmonie state parks, along with the pool at Cagles Mill Lake (Lieber State Recreation Area [SRA]).

Most beaches are open, as they have adequate space for guests to practice social distancing. This includes beaches at: Pokagon, Potato Creek, Chain O’Lakes, Indiana Dunes, Ouabache, Lincoln, Whitewater Memorial and Summit Lake state parks, Cecil M. Harden (Raccoon SRA), Mississinewa, Monroe, Patoka, Brookville and Hardy lakes and Deam Lake and Starve Hollow SRAs and Ferdinand State Forest. The beaches at Cagles Mill (Lieber SRA) and Salamonie lakes will reopen when the currently high water returns to safe levels.

Kayaks, canoes and paddle boats are available for rent at several park locations with lakes.
