Some Indiana State Parks to Close For Deer Reductions
NOVEMBER 5TH, 2018 
TYRONE MORRIS EVANSVILLE, INDIANA
17 Indiana state parks will temporarily close for controlled deer reductions in the coming weeks.
Two different efforts will happen on November 12th and 13th and the second one happens November 26th and 27th.
That means the select state parks will close to the general public the evening before the efforts. The only impacted park in our area is Lincoln State Park.
DNR biologists say deer reduction is necessary every year because it ensures the habitat is safe for all plants and animals.
Below is a list of state parks to close:
- Brown County
- Chain O’Lakes
- Clifty Falls
- Fort Harrison
- Harmonie
- Indiana Dunes
- Lincoln, Ouabache
- Potato Creek
- Prophetstown
- Shades
- Shakamak
- Summit Lake
- Tippecanoe River
- Turkey Run
- Versailles
- Whitewater Memorial.
