    Visit us online at www.stateparks.IN.gov What’s New at Indiana State Parks in 2015 Enjoy this snapshot of some of the work we are doing to prepare for your visits in 2015. There are many other small projects and events not listed that also help manage and interpret the facilities, natural and cultural resources, and history of Indiana’s state park system. You won’t see a lot of new construction or major infrastructure overhauls, although there are some projects completed or underway. We have more than 2,000 buildings, 700 miles of trails, 631 hotel/lodge rooms, 75 marinas, 16 swimming pools, 15 beaches, almost 8,400 campsites, more than 200 shelters, 160 or so playgrounds and 149 cabins in Indiana State Parks. That’s a lot of maintenance, and most of our time and energy has been focused on that basic facility care. We have wonderful partners and volunteers who help us with projects. Our Friends groups contributed thousands of dollars and hours for projects and events. We have creative and dedicated employees who stretch the dollars that you pay when you enter the gate, rent a campsite, launch a boat or attend a special workshop or program. Our goal is to provide you with a great experience during every visit—to help you and your family and friends make memories naturally. Your Indiana State Parks are a great value, both in cost and as great places to get healthy, relax, and support local communities with tourism and jobs. Create some great stories and memories for the future.

What lessons can we learn from our past? What is the real value of the public land we manage? How will our actions impact the future of these unique places? We encourage questions like these from students, teachers and families as we tell the stories of plants, animals, water, soils and history at our Indiana State Parks. These are our stories......... This booklet provides an overview of the main messages that we interpret at each of our sites. These stories are presented in many ways. We introduce these themes in campground programs for families, exhibits in interpretive centers, wayside signage and environmental education programming for schools, scouts and other groups. This booklet is not just for teachers! If your group visits us for a planned program with an interpreter, we can connect one or more of our site messages with the topic(s) you are covering in your classroom or meeting time. Use this booklet to help you decide which of our properties’ messages and resources best match the topic and concepts you are introducing to your students. The booklet can also serve as a source of basic information about the natural and cultural resources at each state park or big lake.
