Brookville Lake area camping

AndersonIN · 3 Weeks Ago

Anyone know of any oddities that I might need to be aware of when camping there?

I always carry OC and didn't know if anyone had run into any prior issues or concerns.

Thanks!

Well, don't go into Brookville! Town council recently passed Ordinance 6 outlawing weapons on/in any town property. How do you know which property is owned by the town?

Thanks for the input. I knew I could count on my INGunOwner brothers and sisters!!! (a few cousins, aunts & uncles and one weird nephew that no one knows where he came from!)

Liberty it is!

I would call the DNR office there and check before you do anything. Remember, Brookville lake and the surrounding land is Army Corp or Engineers land that is only managed by the DNR, not DNR owned. Last I heard, unless you are hunting, firearms are not permitted on Army Corp land and our LTCH permits hold no weight.

With that being said, concealed is concealed right? If your camping and minding your own business it is highly unlikely you will even see a DNR officer let alone interact with one. I would not recomend OC without checking the rules first.

People open carry in town, I heard about this new ordanace about not carrying on town property, so I would be careful about that, Im not sure I would open carry in the park because it is US Army Corp of Engineers property, which is aparently Federal property.
