Indiana residents may fish without a state fishing license in Indiana waters these days only: May 10, June 6 and 7, and September 26, 2026. Free Fishing Days were created by the Indiana General Assembly and are designed each year by the Department of Natural Resources to promote angling as a recreational activity.

Fishing can take place at Ferrettie/Baugo Creek County Park and St. Patrick's County Park.

Join a naturalist in a creative space for adults (18+) who love exploring the outdoors and capturing its beauty through art and words. This beginner-friendly club is all about slowing down, observing nature and connecting with other nature lovers. Bring your favorite journal, curiosity, and a sense of wonder! We will use writing prompts to spark inspiration and provide tips on how to use mixed media such as pencil, paint, photography, and collage.

The Notre Dame Linked Environmental Ecosystem Facility (ND-LEEF), a unique environmental research collaboration between the University of Notre Dame and St. Patrick's County Park, invites you to its 13th annual Science Sunday!

Participate in hands-on exhibits for children of all ages and explore the grounds during a public tour of the facility, which is home to a pair of bald eagles!

Join ADEC as we celebrate FIVE DECADES of impact and create lasting memories alongside our neighbors with disabilities. In 1972, ADEC launched its first Ride A Bike event to support people with disabilities. Since then, it has grown into an ongoing source of support for the individuals we serve.

This year, we encourage our community to continue their participation, alongside our neighbors with disabilities, to raise funds for vital services while focusing on health and well-being.

Ride-A-Bike is more than a cycling event; it’s a celebration of empowerment. Our family-friendly bike loop will take you through multiple “Pedal Portals”, bringing excitement with every turn. For more advanced riders, the longer Pumpkinvine Trail extends from the main loop. Participants of all abilities ride side by side to raise essential funds for ADEC’s programs and services.

For those who want to simply enjoy the festival-like atmosphere, we will have inflatable activities, games, food trucks, giveaways, a transformation station and selfie stop, Art by ADEC, live music from Froggy 102.7, and more!

Get involved by volunteering, fundraising, and registering for the event!

Join Merry Lea this fall for an “enchanted” night hike! Trail guides will lead groups by lantern-light to meet real “live” animals on our trails.

Hikes are one hour long and head out about every 25 minutes.

While you wait for a guide, enjoy music and snacks. End the evening sipping hot cocoa around a campfire! This family-friendly evening is a great alternative to Halloween events that are too scary for young children.
