Shore fishing

Indiana fishing piers and bank access from the DNR map

The DNR Fishing Access Sites layer marks 339 places to fish from land in Indiana: 68 fishing piers, 14 urban fishing sites and 256 shoreline access points. The ones with enough recorded detail to stand alone (a pier, an ADA platform, restrooms, lights or a managing agency) get a page; the rest are rows on their lake, river and county pages.

Urban fishing sites are city park ponds the DNR stocks for close-to-home fishing.
