The public is invited to purchase seasoned wood at Shakamak State Park for firewood.

Trees eligible for firewood have fallen as a result of natural causes or have been dropped by property staff. This wood has been on the ground since last winter or early in 2019. This wood has been cut in sections to make loading easier and is located beside the park’s waste water treatment plant.

Permit sales are in progress and end Oct. 12. The cost of one pickup-truck load is $10. All proceeds will be used for resource management and restoration efforts at Shakamak, including replacement of trees in campgrounds and other public areas.

A firewood permit must be obtained for each load at the park office between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. ET, seven days a week, state holidays excluded. Park staff will provide permit buyers with a map with the location of where wood can be obtained. Wood may be cut and removed between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. ET, daily. For more information, call 812-665-2158.

Firewood cut at Shakamak is for personal use only and cannot be sold.

Shakamak State Park (on.IN.gov/shakamaksp) is at 6265 W State Road 48, Jasonville, 474382.
