Parks in the News

Tracking NPS Closures

Leave a comment

This is an ongoing tracker of closures in the National Park Service due to the ongoing public health crisis. The core of this list is any case where the Park is “substantially closed.” I’m not including those cases where only the visitor center is closed, but the Park can still be substantially visited. Also included are all parks whose grounds are otherwise open, but in states where a shelter-in-place order has been given, effectively restricting travel to that site. Sites with restricted access due to a shelter-in-place order are marked with { }. Additional closure information that does not impact the running total are marked with [ ]. Reopening information is marked with <>.
