- Camping and pavilion use permits are suspended.
- Vendors and concessions have been contacted with cease-of-operations instructions.
- All parks will be closed effective March 20, 2020
Chairperson Suzanne Case commented, “While we are disappointed to have to close parks and facilities and to cancel hunts, camping, special use permits and events, due to the necessity of social distancing, the health and safety of our staff serving the public and the safety of the community is our highest priority. We continue working very closely with other state agencies and will provide updates about any additional closures or restrictions that might be necessary to keep everyone safe.”
