The Superintendent may close an area of the park or restrict its use in order to prevent resource damage, facilitate scientific research, provide for public safety, or avoid user conflicts. Such closures or restrictions may be short or long term. Except in emergencies, significant closures will be published as rulemaking in the Federal Register.

Closures or restrictions listed here may not be all inclusive. Visitors should be aware of posted closure signs, fences or other barricades, notices on park bulletin boards, as well as notices in local newspapers. Any or all of these may be used to announce a closure.

Current Closures: There currently no closures in the park.

Did You Know?
“Killer Whales” or Orcas are actually quite friendly and often inquisitive about humans. In fact the group of “resident killer whales” pictured here feeds entirely on fish. Only “Transient Killer Whales” eat marine mammals. No wild killer whale has ever hurt a human being.
