More Places to Explore on the Indiana State Nature Passport in 2022!

The Indiana State Nature Passport debuted in February 2021! In it’s first year, over 126 people completed the first 59 locations and won prizes. The program has provided incentives for thousands of people across the country to explore the state of Indiana! Indiana DNR and Visit Indiana are excited to announce the addition of 22 new DNR properties for you to explore in 2022! Users who visit all 81 properties can win new and exciting prizes! Opt-in now to start exploring!

From hiking and biking and camping to boating and floating and fishing, there are numerous ways to enjoy the outdoors in Indiana. Once you are opt-in for the passport, you’ll use your mobile device to check-in while at an Indiana property (paid admission is still required at State Parks), and it is as simple as that! As you visit more and more properties, we’ll send prizes your way and enter you for drawings to win even more! With the Indiana State Nature Passport giving you rewards for your visits, you might consider an Annual State Park Entrance Permit, which will get you into any of the properties on the passport (except for State Park Inns) all year long! Learn about and buy a State Park Entrance Permit here.
