The public is invited to cut certain downed trees at Clifty Falls State Park for firewood.

Trees eligible for firewood have fallen as a result of natural causes or have been dropped by property staff. All available firewood to be cut will be located in the pool parking lot.

Permit sales are in progress and end April 5. The cost of one pickup-truck load is $10. All proceeds will be used for resource management and restoration efforts, 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, Monday through Friday. Permits are not available on observed state holidays. Park staff will provide permit buyers a map with areas where trees are down for cutting. Wood may be cut and removed between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. ET, daily. For more information, call 812-273-8885.

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