HARRISBURG (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) – The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) announced Monday that all facilities at Pennsylvania state parks and forests will be closed for 14 days beginning March 17th.
The public will be able to access trails, lakes, forests, roads, and parking areas but will not be able to use the park and forest offices and visitor centers, restrooms, campgrounds, cabins, and other forms of overnight accommodations.
All public programs, events, and trainings are also canceled.
“People will have access to state-owned open spaces to continue to enjoy the healthful benefits of recreation and being outdoors,” DCNR Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn said in a statement. “However, as part of Pennsylvania’s COVID-19 mitigation efforts, all of the buildings at state parks and forests including the park and forest offices, and all restrooms will be closed, and all events and public educational programs are canceled.
“We encourage practicing social distancing while enjoying open spaces including avoiding groups and crowds, and visitors should use the bathroom before they leave home.”
