Update

The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources announced that the public will still be able to access trails, lakes, forests, roads, and parking areas for passive and dispersed recreation, such as hiking.

“People will have access to state-owned open spaces to continue to enjoy the healthful benefits of recreation and being outdoors,” Dunn said. “However, as part of Pennsylvania’s 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 distancing while enjoying open spaces including avoiding groups and crowds, and visitors should use the bathroom before they leave home,” Dunn said.

To help avoid exposure and still enjoy the outdoors:

✅ Adhere to the social spacing guide (minimum 6 feet) between people and don’t recreate in groups
✅ Take hand sanitizer with you and use it regularly
✅ Avoid touching your face, eyes, and nose
✅ Cover your nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing with a tissue or flexed elbow
✅ If you are sick, stay home
