Join DNR for #OptOutsideIN2024

INDIANA – Plan to celebrate the day after Thanksgiving, Friday, Nov. 29, this year by visiting a Department of Natural Resource property.

All DNR properties will offer FREE ADMISSION for those seeking to opt outside for a solo adventure or time with friends or family.

“There’s nothing like going for a hike the day after Thanksgiving to work off the turkey and fixings from the day before,” said Dan Bortner, DNR director. “The benefits of opting outside go beyond the quality memories created with family or the mental perks of spending time in nature. Hoosiers can also win fun prizes that will keep them connected with Indiana DNR year-round.,” said DNR Director Dan Bortner.

Share a photo of your day’s outdoor experience on social media and use #OptOutsideIN2024 or complete a scavenger hunt to win prizes. Visit on.IN.gov/optoutside for details.
