The DNR says pools opening as scheduled are at Clifty Falls, McCormick’s Creek, O’Bannon Woods, Shakamak, and Versailles state parks and at Lieber State Recreation Area. The beach at Indiana Dunes State Park also will open on Saturday with lifeguards on duty.
The water slides and lazy river at Prophetstown State Park’s aquatic center will open Saturday, but its leisure pool will remain closed until mid-June. The public pool at Brown County State Park will open Monday but the wading pool will not be in operation.

MARSHALL, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) Memorial Day weekend is traditionally the day many pools open for the summer, but with not enough lifeguards to work, the Turkey Run State Park pool will remain closed. According to park officials, it is expected to open the first weekend in June.
The Turkey Run pool is not the only Indiana State Park pool to remain closed. The public pool at Spring Mill State Park will remain closed until lifeguard and pool staff positions are filled. The public pools at Mounds and Harmonie state parks remain closed, as announced earlier this year.
