Is it legal to carry concealed in Burr Oak State Park or any other state park? We're going camping up there soon and I was wondering. Is it also legal to carry on a boat on a state owned lake? Thanks for the help.

It is legal to carry in the State Parks, BUT, you can not enter any of the buildings, including the rest rooms. And yes you can carry on your boat in the State Park lakes.

What about a State Nature Preserve? It says firearms are prohibited would that include conceal carry? Thanks
