INDIANA - Indiana State Parks is encouraging people to get outdoors on Black Friday by offering discount of its own.  Hoosiers can #optoutside to enjoy the outdoors with discounts and opportunities to win 2018 state park passes and other prizes.

Three Black Friday discounts are available to everyone, although two require downloading a coupon. The discounts only apply to Black Friday, Nov. 24. They include:

—Free admission to any state park or reservoir that charges gate admission on that day. (Download a coupon from the Indiana State Parks Facebook page beginning Nov. 15).

—Twenty percent off a meal at an Indiana State Park Inn.
(Download a coupon from the Indiana State Parks Facebook page beginning Nov. 15).

—A discount on toboggan rental at Pokagon State Park. Rental will be $13 for 90 minutes instead of the usual $13 per hour. (Learn more at tobogganrun.com).

People who visit a state park, state reservoir or state forest recreation area on Black Friday can engage in social media and participate in a scavenger hunt to be entered in drawings for prizes that include annual passes, lake permits, camping or inns gift cards, 2018 annual passes and more.
