Do your outdoor recreational plans include a trip to DNR-managed lands? DNR wants you to know that throughout fall, many recreational areas close for the season. In addition, DNR has reduced services to many of its recreation facilities due to budget constraints.
What does this mean to you? Amenities such as outhouses, picnic tables, and garbage service may not be available. So please pack out what you pack in. In many places with reduced services, you can still access the area by foot.
Recent seasonal closures include Lake Spokane and Cypress Island, both of which close today, September 7. Last week, DNR also closed Island Camp Campground due to budget shortages.
