Indianapolis, Indiana — The Indiana Department of Natural Resources is inviting Hoosier nature lovers to enjoy a free day of outdoor recreation.
On Sunday, all Indiana state parks, forests, recreation areas, and reservoirs that charge a daily gate fee for each vehicle that enters will offer free admission.
It is also the first Free Fishing Day of the year.
Without a fishing license or a trout/salmon stamp, Indiana residents will be able to fish in any of the state’s public waters. All size and bag limits apply for those who keep the fish they catch.
You can find a place to fish on the DNR website. This year’s other Free Fishing Days are June 4-5 and September 24.
Be sure to check in with your Indiana State Nature Passport when you visit a DNR property on Sunday, whether or not you fish. Doing so will make you eligible to win prizes from Indiana DNR.
The grand prize is a package that includes a State Parks Pass, a $50 gift card for camping, and a subscription to Outdo0r Indiana magazine.
