This aligns with the DNR's regulations, which prohibit drone use in all state parks without authorization. The added context about the park's adjacency to Indiana Dunes National Park and the piping plover nesting beaches enhances the understanding of the area's drone flight considerations. The outline has been updated to accurately represent the restricted area.
