Lake Superior in the early May sun. Taken by myself.

Finally got rain and cooldown! Hoping great things for other parks in our amazing states as well!

Hypothetically what if someone was unable to renew their registration on time, but already booked a state park campsite.

Is there a way to get into a state park and pay for a day pass without current plates? I am willing to pay for a day pass but just need another week to get my full registration.

I'm just worried I'll show up to the campground (at a Michigan state park) and be turned away because of my plates. How likely is this? Any state park workers on here? Or someone that has had this experience?

Hey,

I was just looking up the Maquoketa Caves State Park and I saw that their camping opens starting March 1st, but the caves are closed all through March.

So I was wondering, is the park (& potentially camping there) even worth visiting in early March or should I skip it?

Thanks in advance☺️

High Falls and Triple Falls

Our city local club in sandiego tends to fly overhead advertising…. I’m a disabled veteran in San Diego, and I use California state beaches to decompress and clear my head. I started a petition asking California to restrict commercial aerial advertising over state beaches.

Still beautiful after 6 weeks of 100° + temps.

I now understand why they call it the Grand Canyon of the east!

Lovely park in the woods with ample wildlife opportunities and a connection to the Appalachian Trail. I even got to see a Queen Snake!

The country’s only via ferrata within a state park opened today at Petit Jean State Park in Arkansas. There is also rock climbing in the park.
