A decision was made today by the Department of Environment and Conservation and 
states that all “56 State Parks and State Natural Areas will be closed 
beginning tomorrow, April 4th thru at least April 14th.”   This move supports 
Governor Bill Lee’s Executive Order 23.   This is a complete closure not only 
of facilities but also access to the Parks.  

 

It was not stated but my ‘assumption’ and direct observation is that people 
were not practicing the CDC guidelines of social distancing and in order to 
‘flatten the curve’ it became necessary to close them.  Hopefully they will 
open up again before spring migration is over.

 

Be safe and be well…

 

Cheers!
