Shakamak State Park to close for deer management hunts

Shakamak State Park will temporarily close to the public twice this month for controlled deer management hunts, according to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

The park will close at 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15, and remain closed during the Nov. 16–17 hunt. It will reopen the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 18.

DNR says the hunts help manage deer populations, protect native plants and reduce damage to park resources. Hunters selected through the draw have already been notified.
