GUIDELINES FOR RESPONSIBLE OUTDOOR RECREATION
Before you go:
- Check what’s open. While many state-managed land destinations are open for day use and camping, other local, tribal and federal land may still be closed.
- Stay local. This will reduce the need for stops along the way. Limit the number in your group to 5 unless with members of the same household.
- Come prepared. Visitors may find reduced or limited restroom services as staff begin the process to reopen facilities at wildlife areas and water-access sites. You are advised to bring your own soap, water, hand sanitizer and toilet paper, as well as a mask or bandana to cover your nose and mouth.
- Enjoy the outdoors when healthy. If you have symptoms of fever, coughing or shortness of breath, save your outdoor adventure for another day.
When you get there:
- Avoid crowds. Be prepared to go somewhere else or come back another time if your destination looks crowded.
- Practice physical distancing. Keep 6 feet between you and those outside your immediate household. Launch one boat at a time to give others enough space to launch safely.Leave at least one parking space between your vehicle and the vehicle next to you. Trailer your boat in the same way.
- Follow the rules. Rule enforcement puts visitors and staff at risk. Please follow all rules to reduce the need for interaction with rangers and other park staff. Never leave a campfire unattended.
- Be kind and respectful to our rangers, park aides, field staff and other park visitors.
- Wash your hands often. Keep up on personal hygiene and bring your own water, soap and hand sanitizer with you.
- Pack out what you pack in. Take any garbage with you, including disposable gloves and masks.
