It will cost you a little bit more to enter an Indiana state
park or state forest this season.
Operating costs have increased which has caused the increase
in gate fees. The entrance to most state parks and three state forest
recreation areas will increase from $5.00 per in-state vehicle to $7.00. Many
activities offered are free after paying the gate fee.
Out-of-state admission at most properties will increase from
$7.00 to $9.00 per carload. Out-of-state admission at Indiana Dunes State Park
will increase from $10 to $12. Most camping sites will increase by $4.00 and
rooms at state park inns will increase by $2.00. Annual passes will increase
from $40 to $50.
These changes are effective May 13. This is the first fee
overhaul since 2006. Revenue generated from the increases will support staffing
and the purchasing of supplies and equipment.
A list of all the fee changes for 2015 can be found at
stateparks.in.gov/2391.htm.
