A safe and enjoyable park experience begins at home. The NPS encourages visitors to plan their visit by checking the park’s website and social media for current conditions and travel tips. The CDC has offered guidance to help people recreating in parks and open spaces prevent the spread of infectious diseases: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/visitors.html. We ask the public to be our partner in recreating responsibly, by following CDC and state and local guidance, social distancing, and wearing a face covering when inside.
We encourage visitors to watch the 25-minute park film on our website before visiting at https://go.nps.gov/whmi/film
