From our most beloved national parks<\/a> to local trail systems, state and federal land managers across the country are temporarily closing facilities, suspending services and restricting access in an attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19. As you look to stay informed about impacts to our parks and potentially find ways to get outside while social distancing<\/a>\u2014staying local,\u00a0avoiding crowds and adhering\u00a0to your community’s guidelines\u2014here\u2019s a list of known national and state park closures. We\u2019ll keep updating the list as more closures and changes are announced, but be sure to check each national park and state park system\u2019s webpage for the latest information.<\/p>\n
