New COVID-19 information for parks under phase 2.5
Posted on: Wednesday, September 16, 2020 - 5:00pm |
Reservable Facilities
All trails, the boat ramp, restrooms, family camping, primitive camping and vacation cabins are OPEN. Camping and cabin reservations are REQUIRED before arrival. There are no walk-up reservations. Visitors must book reservations online and arrive before 9 p.m. on the day of reservation. Restrooms will be closed periodically so that staff can adhere to new cleaning protocols. Weather-based horse trail closures will continue to be updated on the park's main webpage.
The park office is open. A properly worn mask or face covering, covering both the nose and the mouth, is required to enter the park office. The lodge and museum remain closed.
Picnic shelters are open and available for reservation.
Boat rentals and the boathouse, concession stand, swimming pool, and water fountains remain closed. The swimming pool will remain closed through the 2020 season. Group campsites remain closed until further notice due to a challenging natural resource concern with the restroom facilities.
Park hours are 7:00am to 10:00pm. Day use areas close at 9:00 pm. Parking is limited to available spaces only to keep the park under capacity. There is no overflow parking or parking allowed on road shoulders. When capacity is reached, only those with camping/cabin reservations will be allowed to enter the park.
Please note that this alert is updated only when something changes. Generally, state parks are following a phased reopening statewide. As of September 11, we are following the new guidelines under phase 2.5.
Last updated on: Tuesday, September 15, 2020It's that time of year again. The heat and humidity are consistently high. Please plan ahead and bring more water than you think you'll need. Don't forget to bring some for your furry friends, too. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, we currently are not selling concessions. There are water spigots near the museum in the office parking lot, the lower picnic area, and the bridle trail parking lot. The restrooms at the boathouse, summit, office and lower picnic area are open.
