Has your state tentatively posted when parks will open back up?

[Tonya Harding]

Thus far, Va State Parks closed (for overnight camping) until June 10; reservations are open now beginning June 11, depends on the Gov if they open sooner /later...day use only now, porta crappers in use until facilities get the the GO to reopen...think the Appalachian Trail is closed as well, at least here in Va...

Here in NY, the governor said in his press conference on Wednesday, 15 April 2020, that camping in State Parks would remain closed until further notice.
People can still go to SPs during the day and practice safe distancing, but bathrooms would be closed.

If I look on reserveamerica for NM state park reservations, the notice is that the parks are closed through May 17. Last I knew, the stay-at-home order is through the end of April, but how/when it will begin to be lifted is not clear. (Gov holds a press conference every day or so, but we don't have local TV channels at the moment, due to satellite issues, so have to find things online or see what the paper reports. We're too close to the mountain for over-the-air TV.)

Not sure how that is even possible.

NY governor has now said (16 April 2020) that the state will stay on shut down until May 15th.

Look for june 1st. As new announcement dates.

Not sure how that is even possible.

You have to park somewhere, they will block off the parking lots / or ticket tow the vehicles.

Me either, but looks like they did it, I remember seeing something on the local news awhile back...

PCT impacted as well, as the trail goes through Yosemite, and other closed areas.

I can get a ride to the AT from my house. Trail crosses about 90 minutes from here.

Here in NJ, the AT runs thru the Delaware Water Gap Nat Rec area. The good thing up here is that it's still cold at night and we have had nasty rainy weather, some flurries as well. So can't imagine many hikers on the AT. It's when the weather gets nicer and the nights are decent you might see more thru hikers.

To get to the AT up here most access point there is a parking lot, but there are spots someone can drop you off where it crosses a road.

SC site says 5/1/20, but 5/1-5/7 is only existing reservations. New reservations aren't available until 5/8/20. Personally I'll not be holding my breath. After this fiasco I am keeping my eyes open for a small piece of land in a couple areas to have a personal retreat.

Ohio, scheduled to open 5/17, but subject to change. I have made reservations for 4 nights starting on 5/17.

Hope they stick. If not I will make reservations for the next date I can.

I was at a state park in SC when the shut down began. They locked the gates without even informing everyone....such as myself....even though my camper was still set up inside. I made a trail around the gate with my Sentra. The following day I was told that we could return on May 7th. I haven't heard of an extension yet.

 

[BillyMc]

My local SP had a combination lock that you get the combination for at check in. The code periodically changes so you have to pay attention if you need to get out or in between close and open the next day.

Been kicking myself in the backside the past 2 yrs for not snatching 2.5 acres w/ lake access, lot was in a protected cove bout 60 meters from the water, $22,000.00...perfect spot to pull in a small camper & launch yaks from, $274.00 per yr. taxes...what a dummy was I...
