September 28 is the last Free Fishing Day of the year in Indiana.
INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) invites you to celebrate National Public Lands Day weekend on September 28-29.
National Public Lands Day takes place on Saturday, September 28. It is the nation’s largest single day of volunteerism on public lands. Participants can collect trash at a nearby DNR property for a rewarding way to protect wildlife and promote healthy natural resources.
See dnr.IN.gov/places-to-go/events or on.IN.gov/dnrvolunteer for listings of programs.
September 28 will also serve as National Hunting and Fishing Day and the last free fishing day of the year. Indiana residents can fish public waters without a license on free fishing days.
DNR has resources for new and advanced anglers in its Fishing Guide (on.IN.gov/fishingguide) and an interactive map at on.IN.gov/where2fish to help locate sites. For hunters, squirrel, dove, and youth deer seasons are open and are great options for connecting with the outdoors. DNR’s Hunting & Trapping Guide, available at on.IN.gov/huntingguide, has a full list of open seasons and helpful resources for your experience level.
On September 29, there will be free admission to all DNR properties that normally charge a gate fee.
Visit on.IN.gov/recfinder to plan your trip.
