Did you know June is National Rivers Month? It’s a time dedicated to honoring and preserving the invaluable rivers that weave through our communities — and timed perfectly along with that, Discover White River is launching a rewards pass.

It’s designed to encourage visitors to explore parks + engage with attractions along the White River. There are 35+ participating locations including Riverside Park, Belmont Beach, and Conner Prairie.

How it works:

  • Sign up for the Discover White River Pass online.
  • Turn on your location service on your phone to check in via GPS when visiting a participating location in Marion and Hamilton counties.
  • With every check-in, users collect points that can be redeemed for prizes.
  • Bonus: Earn awards by participating in volunteer park or river clean-up days.

Prizes include rental vouchers for White River Canoe Company in Noblesville or Frank’s Paddlesports Livery in Indianapolis. The largest prize is a daylong guided fishing excursion with Two Forks Guide Service.

The free rewards pass is available now through October 2024.
