'Fall' in love with state parks - Parks open through autumn

By -
Paddlers at Brighton State Park enjoying fall colors.

Days are getting shorter, nights are chilly and some stray trees have started to turn red, orange and gold. Summer may be over, but about half of our parks are open through Indigenous People’s Day, and a select few are open even later. Stop by for a visit and enjoy the cooler weather (and fewer bugs). Fall is a great time for camping, hiking, paddling, or getting in one final picnic before the earmuffs come on.

 Below is our late season operating list:

 Parks Open Until Sept 12

    Can we still park at Underhill State Park even when it's closed (like tomorrow). Or there is a road closure?
    Thanks
