Lake County Parks (the county park system, e.g. Deep River, Lemon Lake, Oak Ridge Prairie) are open from 7 a.m. until sunset. Vehicles may not be parked on park property overnight, and shelter rentals run from 10 a.m. until sunset. Being in a park after hours is prohibited.
Under the Lake County Parks and Recreation Department Rules and Regulations, the parks are open from 7 a.m. until sunset, and sunset varies throughout the year. Shelter rentals are reserved from 10 a.m. until sunset. Vehicles may not be parked on park property overnight, effectively barring overnight presence. These hours apply to the Lake County, Indiana park system (county seat Crown Point; parks across NW Indiana / 'the Region'). Additional park rules address dogs, alcohol, and soliciting. Municipal parks run by individual cities and towns set their own hours. Confirm posted hours or special-event closures with the department at 219-769-PARK.
Remaining in a county park after closing or parking overnight is a park-rules violation subject to removal and enforcement by park staff and law enforcement; contact Lake County Parks for specifics.
