When you're at the park:
 

• Maintain a social distance of 6 feet, regardless of the behavior of others
• Bring a mask or face covering; they are required to be worn inside buildings and when social distancing cannot be implemented
• Share the trail — warn other trail users of your presence, step to the side or wait at the end of a bridge
• Do not enter restrooms until others have cleared out and please be patient when staff is cleaning them
• Touch as few surfaces as possible
• Wash or sanitize your hands before, during, and after your visit
• Do not share equipment like phones or cameras with other visitors
• If the park seems crowded when you arrive, come back another time
• Stay at home if you are exhibiting symptoms
   

Thank you for following these guidelines and helping us keep you, your fellow visitors and our staff safe as we open facilities at our parks.
