Concealed Carry in Indiana state parks?

Does anyone happen to know for sure whether or not it is now legal to carry a handgun in Indiana State parks, particularly Brown County State Park? If I am not mistaken a law was passed over a year ago that states that individuals with a Handgun Permit can legally carry in National and State parks, but I cannot find the actual statement anywhere online. If anyone that could help clarify this for me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
 
As far as I can find, the only places that are specifically banned from carry by IN state law are school property, property being used for school functions, school buses, commercial and charter aircraft, and restricted areas of airports. As far as I can tell, there is no prohibition against carrying a handgun in a state park so long as you have a LTCH or valid license to carry a handgun issued by another state (IN recognizes all other states licenses). As is the usual disclaimer, however, I am not a lawyer and my reading of the law should not be taken as formal legal advice.

If you have doubt, why not simply call Brown County State Park (a very nice park by the way) and ask them?
