Spring Weather

Visitors are encouraged to call ahead, check the website, or check our social media pages before driving to the park on snowy days. If we receive a lot of snow, the visitor center may have a delayed open or be closed for safety. Spring storms can be quick and nasty.

When open, our maintenance staff does a fabulous job of plowing the parking lots and roads within the park. Visitors should drive slow on the roads and walk with caution along the cement paths.
