Your proposed edit to include the Indiana Department of Natural Resources' (DNR) drone prohibition at Turkey Run State Park has been approved. This aligns with the DNR's regulations, which prohibit drone use in all state parks without authorization. The added context about the park's narrow sandstone canyons enhances the understanding of the area’s drone flight considerations. The outline has been updated to accurately represent the restricted area.
